Covid-Associated Pernio is the Product of an Abortive Sars-Cov-2 Infection Resulting in the Deposition of Inflammatory Viral Rna and a Local Interferon Response
2022-08-31
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 replicates primarily in the airways but generates a systemic immune response mediated by Type I interferons (IFN-I). Pernio is a rare skin manifestation of monogenic disorders characterized by excessive IFN-I signaling.
