Acroischemia in adolescent with suspected COVID-19.

Abstract

A 13—year—old patient whose mother made a telephone consultation at the Villa de Vallecas Health Center in the city of Madrid, in the context of the Covid 19 pandemic, due to a hard and violaceous lesion on the first toe of the left foot, without pain, of 1 week of evolution, that in the last 2 days has signs of inflammation, induration and surrounding erythema, with no apparent portal of entry, and no fever or associated respiratory or digestive symptoms. It is evaluated by means of photographs and is interpreted as a possible suspected case of Covid 19. Treatment with oral cefadroxil, telephone and photographic follow—up is indicated, showing good evolution. We try to make visible the importance of the detection of these injuries by Family Physicians at the first level of care and their follow—up.
