Clinical features of post-COVID-19 syndrome in children

Abstract

Most children make a full recovery from a new coronavirus infection, but some of them have a variety of persistent symptoms for a long time. A wide range of symptoms that occur within weeks or months after infection with SARS-CoV-2 is referred to as a long COVID (post-COVID-19 syndrome). The review presents literature data on the duration and clinical features of post-COVID-19 syndrome in children. The paucity of studies on long COVID conditions does not allow us to draw unambiguous conclusions. However, it should be borne in mind that the consequences of a new coronavirus infection can have a significant impact on the health of children and their quality of life in the future.
