TL;DR
This paper examines the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 and other infections in children, drawing insights from a post-covid unit in Rome.
Contribution
The paper provides insights into pediatric long covid and compares it to long-term effects of other infectious diseases.
Findings
Long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 in children are not well understood.
Lessons from a pediatric post-covid unit in Rome highlight the need for more research.
Long-term post-infectious effects are not unique to SARS-CoV-2.
Abstract
There is limited evidence available on the long-term impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children. In this article, the authors analyze the recent evidence on pediatric long covid and lessons learnt from a pediatric post-covid unit in Rome, Italy. To gain a better understanding of the concerns raised by parents and physicians in relation to the potential long-term consequences of this novel infection, it is important to recognize that long-term effect of a post-infectious disease is not a new phenomenon. The authors analyze the recent evidence on pediatric long covid and lessons learnt from a pediatric post-covid unit in Rome, Italy. Also, we analyze the long-term effects of other infectious diseases. An analysis of the recent evidence on pediatric long covid and lessons learnt from a pediatric post-covid unit in Rome, Italy.
