Abstract
They showed type-I IFN polarization in COVID-toes patients compared with HC.13 We assessed whole blood type-I IFN signature based on the expression of 28 ISG (Table S7) in 24 patients, and we observed that 29.2% (7/24) of enrolled patients displayed increased ISG scores (Table S4 and Figure S1). Patients with COVID-toes evaluated before 7 days of onset of the skin lesions show statistical increase in 28-IRG score compared with patients who started later than 7 days. On the other hand, the strengths of our study are that we describe a relatively big and homogeneous cohort of young patients with COVID-toes, and to our knowledge, this is the first report that examines IFN signature in pediatric patients with COVID-toes.
