Editor Teledermatology (TD) was previously described as an efficient substitute for in-person visits for COVID-19-associated lesions. 1 During the first COVID-19 wave, chilblain-like lesions (CLLs) were the most reported dermatological manifestation. [2][3][4] Although SARS-CoV-2 infection polymerase chain reaction and serology testing were negative for most cases, this unexpected outbreak of chilblains like lesions remained remarkable. 5 To date, it is unclear whether CLL outbreak reported during the first COVID-19 pandemic is related to media release of this particular sign right after the wave or whether observed CLLs are truly associated with COVID-19 disease. 6 Therefore, we aimed
Dear Editor, By facilitating access to dermatological expertise, Store and Forward Teledermatology (SFTD) enables reference centres to remotely diagnose and manage rare diseases. 1 Epidermal necrolysis (EN), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic EN (TEN), is a life-threatening condition that is mainly drug induced. 2 We investigated the quality of requests and management of suspected EN sent by SFTD to our dermatology department.This single-centre retrospective study included all SFTD requests received in our dermatology department, which is a reference centre for severe drug reactions, for a suspicion of EN between January 2016 and December 2020. Records with missing clinical data or photographs were excluded.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
