Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: even among the symptomatic COVID-19 cases, severe manifestations are seen in very few children. Though fever and respiratory symptoms are most common, many children also have gastrointestinal manifestations.

Reviewers’ commentary: most frequent clinical manifestations of COVID-19 in children are usually fever and mild respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms, although these data come from studies with selection and publication biases. Prospective population cohort studies with patients from all levels of care are necessary to understand the actual clinical spectrum of the disease. Analyzing possible clinical markers of risk of severe cases would be also useful.
