In their paper, Fernandez-Nieto et al repeatedly use the appellative "acro-ischemic" for this cutaneous manifestation. As the authors state, true ischemic lesions have been reported in severely-ill patients with proven coronavirus infection 3 . Although the comparison between acral lesions in asymptomatic patients and ischemic lesions in severe cases is important, we find the term "acute acro-ischemic lesions" not accurate. The term chilblain-like lesions, in our opinion, therefore would be preferable for the lesions that present in these patients rather than acro-ischemic lesions.
