Chi-PsoCov is an international registry for dermatologists to report outcomes of COVID-19 in children with psoriasis.

The objectives of the Chi-PsoCoV (Children with psoriasis and COVID-19) registry, conducted in psoriatic children.

  • The impact of SARS-Cov2 infection on psoriasis:
    • Psoriasis flare or even psoriasis de novo after infection
    • Correlation between symptom severity and psoriasis flares
  • The impact of psoriasis and its treatments on the risk of developing a severe form of COVID-19

Inclusion criteria are:

  • child
  • with psoriasis (confirmed by a dermatologist)
    • before infection / SARS-CoV-2
    • or psoriasis developed within one month after infection with SARS-CoV-2 (de novo psoriasis)
    • whatever the severity of the disease (even psoriasi controled by or xwothout treatment) and the treatment
  • have contracted SARS-CoV-2 with or without symptoms:
    • confirmed cases (PCR, serology, antigenic test, or chest CT-scan)
    • suspected cases with sufficient data for infection in the child:
      • confirmed cases in the family home
      • highly suspected cases (characteristic symptoms) in the family, but not confirmed (especially before the establishment of systematic tests):
      • contact case (school for example) with suggestive symptoms
    • onset of symptoms (if symptomatic) of COVID-19 for at least 1 month

Non-inclusion criteria are:

  • refusal expressed by family and/or children to collect the information

We are grateful for your contribution. Please report your cases of COVID-19 in children with psoriasis whatever its severity and its treatment, using this form. 

Recruitment will be done by dermatologists who follow psoriatic children.
We will provide regular information on all reported cases.

Thank you,
