Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of the COVID-19 global pandemic, is notable for an expanding list of atypical manifestations including but not limited to coagulopathies, renal dysfunction, cardiac injury and a multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. In addition, SARS-CoV-2 has been purportedly linked to multiple cutaneous manifestations, among them chilblain-like skin lesions, also known as ?COVID toes.? Driven in large part by social media, dermatologists around the world reported a dramatic increase in the frequency of chilblain-like diagnoses early in the COVID-19 pandemic, often in members of the same family. This phenomenon has been captured in a rapidly expanding medical literature. As of this writing, the chilblain-like presentation has been reported to occur predominantly in younger, minimally symptomatic patients and to emerge late in the COVID-19 disease course. Evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection is not consistently found when these patients are evaluated by polymerase chain reaction. A robust antiviral immune response in young patients that induces microangiopathic changes has been posited as a mechanism. Herein we review the rapid evolution of the literature regarding chilblain-like skin lesions early in the COVID-19 global pandemic.
