2. INTRODUCTION
A variety of skin lesions are being reported in children during
the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.
chilblains (“COVID toes”) and erythema multiforme
strongly link with SARS-CoV-2
This article reported a not previously recognized manifestation of
COVID-19 in a young infant, in whom IHC for SARS-CoV-2 was positive
in the endothelia of dermal blood vessels.

3. CASE REPORT
A 1-month, 29-day-old female
⦁ Presented with a 5-days history of a skin lesions on her soles
⦁ History of other disease, trauma, or drug or heat
exposure (-)
The baby had been
suffering mild nasal
congestion, and her mom
had also had mild nasal
congestion 1 week earlier
than the baby.
3 weeks earlier • On examination , reticulated
purpura was seen on both soles,
more pronounced on her left
foot.
• No induration or edema was
present.
Reticulated purpura on the soles,
more prominent on the left foot
3
4. • Slight thrombocytosis (473 × 103/μL; normal: 150-400 ×
103/μL). Coagulation studies were normal, D-dimer levels
were mildly elevated (790 ng/mL; normal < 500 ng/mL). C-
reactive protein was 0.04 mg/dL (normal: 0.01-1 mg/dL)
• PCR in oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swabs for SARS-
CoV-2 was negative

5. A skin biopsy --> HE
sections showed
dilated superficial
dermal vessels lined
by swollen endothelial
cells. Significant red
cell extravasation was
noted around them .

The antibody was
previously optimized using
autopsy lungs from
patients with confirmed
COVID-19 as positive
controls and different non-
COVID-19 tissues as
negative controls.
SARS-CoV-2
immunohistochemistry
- Cytoplasmic granular
positivity for SARS-CoV/SARS-
CoV-2 spike protein was
detected in the cytoplasm of
endothelial cells and
epithelial cells of eccrine
glands.
- minimal perivascular
lymphocytic infiltrate, mostly
composed by CD3 + mature T
cell was noted

ii. On telephone follow-up, her mother reported that the lesions gradually
faded and eventually resolved two weeks after the diagnosis.
i. No treatment was recommended because the patient was in good health.

8. DISCUSSION
8
• Our Patient
– Reticulated purpuric lesions on the soles characterized
histologically by purpura and dilated blood vessels
– IHC for SARS-CoV-2 was considered positive in the cytoplasm of
endothelial cells of dermal vessels and in the eccrine glands
Previously found IHC positivity for SARS-CoV-2 in two skin
biopsies of COVID-19-related erythema multiforme and in
seven cases of COVID-19 chilblains in children
9. DISCUSSION
9
• Our Patient
– Negative result for PCR obtained in the vast majority of cases of
acral ischemic lesions identical to chilblains, which have been
reported associated with COVID-19
Strongly suspected that these skin lesions are secondary to COVID-19
• Transient presence of the virus in the pharynx is followed by subsequent spread
to distant locations
10. DISCUSSION
10
• COVID-19-related chilblains
– histologic features of prominent perivascular lymphocytic
inflammation and lymphocytic vasculitis with endothelial damage
Our case
• The toes were not involved and the lesions did not resemble chilblains, neither
clinically nor on histology
• Clinicopathological condition related to acro-ischemic chilblains of children
and teenagers, but with a milder vascular involvement and less inflammation
11. Conclusion
17
• COVID-19 chilblains appear to be extremely rare in infants.
• The young age can thus modify the clinicopathological
presentation of acral vascular manifestations of COVID-19.
• Low-grade endothelial cell damage appears to be the most likely
cause of the skin lesions in this patient.
• It is plausible that direct viral induced endothelial damage is the
first step in the inflammatory and vaso-occlusive reaction, which is
known to be elicited by SARSCoV-2 infection.
