Coronavirus infection in children

Abstract

A review of the literature of foreign and Russian studies on the course of a new coronavirus infection in children ( SARS - CoV -2) is presented. The studies conducted over the past two years have shown a difference in the course of COVID -19 in children. The clinical picture of coronavirus infection in children is very diverse: from symptoms of a respiratory infection to multisystem inflammatory syndrome. It has been established that among children there is lower frequency of severe course of coronavirus infection. For complete understanding of features and treatment of the new coronavirus infection, large-scale epidemiological studies are required.
