Are SARS‐CoV‐2 IgA antibodies in paediatric patients with chilblain‐like lesions indicative of COVID‐19 asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic infection?

was positive in eight cases, borderline in two, and negative in three, including the COVID-19 patient. Overall, serology for S1-specific IgA and IgG in the 30 patients shows that 16 (53.3%) were positive for IgA, whereas IgG was detectable in five (16.6%; Fig. 1f ). We have recently reported that high levels of IgG and IgA can be detected in adult patients with severe COVID-19, while IgA, and to a lower extent IgG, is increased in asymptomatic individuals. 6 As IgA is the most abundant antibody at mucosal sites, a strong local protection may prevent viral spread and damage to the respiratory tract, explaining the lack of symptoms. The ELISA used for the detection of anti-S1 IgG and IgA has been demonstrated to be specific and sensitive. 7, 8 Of note, antibodies against S1 are often neutralizing 9 and may prevent severe disease and further immune responses. 6 Our findings indicate that, similar to asymptomatic adults, paediatric patients would respond to SARS-CoV-2 producing more IgA than IgG. On the other hand, a single patient had detectable IgG against SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein. Anti-nucleoprotein IgG is present in the great majority of hospitalized adult patients, but only in one-third of paucisymptomatic individuals, suggesting that disease severity influences the specificity of the antibodies produced. 10 In conclusion, the detection of S1-specific IgA in paediatric patients with chilblain-like lesions strongly points to a previous, mostly asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection with inflammatory sequelae.
