Abstract
Context: Findings have been perceived that only fewer children face COVID-19 and among infected, they have fewer violent signs. Being less severity among children could be significant for meditating therapeutics for high-risk adults and the elderly.
Evidence Acquisition: This study reviewed the main associated symptoms related to COVID-19 such as epidemiologic, laboratory-related, and therapeutic aspects among pediatric patients. In this narrative review, the most recent reproduced data on pediatric patients’ clinical revelation with COVID-19 have been considered and reviewed.
Results: All ages of pediatric patients were susceptible against the COVID-19. There wasn’t any significant sex difference. Asymptomatic, mild, or moderate signs were reported in more than 90% of all patients. Although pediatric patients clinical appearance of COVID-19 was commonly less severe compare to adult patients, young pediatric patients, exclusively infants, were vulnerable to infection.
Conclusion: It is important that clinicians must be informed of possible clinical manifestations of pediatric patients ’COVID-19 cases to avoid neglecting or overdiagnosis of patients. As well as, this review provided strong documents of human-to-human transmission.
