Abstract

Several singular cutaneous manifestations have been recently reported in patients with confirmed or suspected coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Acral chilblain-like lesions, as well as purpuric macules, have already been characterized. We illustrate a case of a 100-year-old man who was diagnosed with COVID-19 and presented an acral petechial rash some weeks after his respiratory infection. We suggest that it could represent a novel variant of cutaneous manifestations associated to this viral infection, possibly related to a delayed immunological reaction.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Infectious Diseases In Clinical Practice, Q4 Agency Scopus (SJR), its regional focus and specialization in Microbiology (Medical), give it significant recognition in a specific niche of scientific knowledge at an international level.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-06-28:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 12.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 12 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 0.5.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 1 (Altmetric).
