1 Analysis of Chilblains Profile During COVID-19 Epidemic

Cases of chilblains have been reported with an unusual frequency in France in the context of the COronaVirus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. Some of these cases have been linked to a virological status in favour of a recent Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Chilblains are acral inflammatory lesion typically reactive to cold (primary form). There are secondary forms acquired during autoimmune connectivitis such as lupus chilblain or hereditary forms related to type I Interferonopathy. An interferon type I signature has been described in these secondary forms of frostbite but also during the cytokine storm of severe forms of CoV-2 SARS infection. If cases of frostbite are indeed secondary to an SARS-CoV-2 infection, comparative analysis of their immunopathological profiles could provide a better understanding of the inflammatory mechanisms during COVID-19.

NCT04387955 COVID-19 Chilblains Diagnostic Test: Biological Sample Collection
MeSH:Chilblains

Primary Outcomes

Description: Main Judgement Criterion Comparison between the proportion of patients with chilblains presenting a SARS-CoV-2 positive virological status and the estimated proportion of SARS-CoV-2 positive virological status in the general population. The SARS-CoV-2 positive virological status of patients with chilblains will be defined by : SARS-CoV-2 Reverse Transcription‐Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) on a positive nasopharyngeal swab pre-inclusion. And/or RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 on positive anal swab at D0 And/or RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 on skin bubble fluid positive at D0. And/or RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 on skin biopsy positive at D0. And/or SARS-CoV-2 serology positive at D0 and/or M1 and/or M2.

Measure: Study of the link between SARS-CoV-2 infection and chilblains observed during COVID-19 epidemics.

Time: 2 months

Secondary Outcomes

Description: SARS-CoV-2 virological profile of patients with chilblains during a COVID-19 epidemic: Proportion of patients with positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR on pre-inclusion nasopharyngeal swab. Proportion of patients with a positive RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 on anal self-sampling at D0 +/- M1. Proportion of patients with positive RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 on skin bubble fluid collection at D0 +/- M1. Proportion of patients with positive RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 on skin biopsy at D0 and viral quantification. Proportion of patients with positive SARS-CoV-2 serology at D0 and/or M1 and/or M2. Proportion of SARS-CoV-2 positive serum neutralization in patients with SARS-CoV-2 positive serology at D0 and/or M1 and/or M2. Proportion of patients with a positive viral culture at sites with positive PCR (nasopharyngeal or anal or bubble fluid or skin biopsy).

Measure: Study of the SARS-CoV-2 virological profile of patients presenting chilblains during a COVID-19 epidemic.

Time: 2 months

Description: Comparison between patients with chilblains with a positive SARS-CoV-2 status and patients with chilblains with a negative SARS-CoV-2 status (if there is an overrepresentation of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, the results will be given without comparison): Proportions of each of the clinical signs detailed in the ACROVID data collection sheet in the Appendix. Proportions of each of the biological characteristics detailed in the ACROVID data collection form in the Appendix.

Measure: Comparison of the clinical and biological profiles of patients presenting chilblains according to their SARS-CoV-2 virological status (in case of over-representation of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, the results will be given without comparison).

Time: 2 months

Description: Comparison between patients with chilblains with a positive SARS-CoV-2 status and patients with chilblains with a negative SARS-CoV-2 status (if there is an overrepresentation of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, the results will be given without comparison): - Proportions of each capillaroscopic abnormalities detailed in the ACROVID data collection sheet in the Appendix present during video capillaroscopy performed on all patient fingers (excluding thumbs) at D0 and M2.

Measure: Comparison of the capillaroscopic profiles of patients with chilblains according to their SARS-CoV-2 virological status (in case of overrepresentation of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, the results will be given without comparison).

Time: 2 months

Description: Comparison between patients with chilblains with a positive SARS-CoV-2 status and patients with chilblains with a negative SARS-CoV-2 status (if there is an overrepresentation of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, the results will be given without comparison): - Measurements of TCPO2 (expressed in mmHg) on the inter-metatarsal or metacarpal space of the two most affected toes or fingers.

Measure: Comparison of the TCPO2 profiles of patients with chilblains according to their SARS-CoV-2 virological status (in case of overrepresentation of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, the results will be given without comparison).

Time: 2 months

Description: Comparison between patients with chilblains with a positive SARS-CoV-2 status and patients with chilblains with a negative SARS-CoV-2 status (if there is an overrepresentation of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, the results will be given without comparison): - Measurements of the toe or finger pressure index calculated as the ratio of the systolic toe or finger pressure measured on the most affected toe or finger (expressed in mmHg) and the average of the humeral systolic arterial pressure (SAP) measured per cuff on both arms (expressed in mmHg).

Measure: Comparison of the toe or Finger Pressure Index profiles of patients with chilblains according to their SARS-CoV-2 virological status (in case of overrepresentation of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, the results will be given without comparison).

Time: 2 months

Description: Comparison between patients with chilblains with a positive SARS-CoV-2 status and patients with chilblains with a negative SARS-CoV-2 status (if there is an overrepresentation of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, the results will be given without comparison): - Proportions of the histological characteristics of skin lesions detailed in the ACROVID data collection form in Appendix COVID-19
