Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Chilblain-like lesions (CLL) are skin manifestations linked to SARS-CoV-2. This review found CLL typically affects younger females, often with negative COVID-19 tests and mild symptoms, usually resolving without recurrence.
Area Of Science
- Dermatology
- Infectious Diseases
- Public Health
Background
- Chilblain-like lesions (CLL) have been observed in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
- Previous reviews indicated associations with younger demographics, equal sex distribution, negative SARS-CoV-2 tests, and minimal extracutaneous symptoms.
Conclusions
- CLL associated with SARS-CoV-2 typically presents in younger females.
- The majority of cases show negative COVID-19 test results and no systemic symptoms.
- CLL generally follows a benign clinical course with a high resolution rate and low recurrence.

Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...
Stages of infection describe what happens to a susceptible host once a pathogen invades the human body. The stages of infection are incubation, prodromal, illness, stage of decline, and convalescence. The incubation stage is the period from exposure to a pathogen until symptoms start. The infected person is unaware of impending illness as the pathogens grow and multiply within the body. The duration may vary depending on the type of infection. The incubation period of measles averages ten to...
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...
