Ten key points about COVID-19 in children : The shadows on the wall

© 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC..

The pandemic of the new coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), initially described in China, is challenging the health care systems of all countries. Every emerging disease raises many questions with a scarcity of answers since all its characteristics are still being discovered. In the case of SARS-CoV-2, most of the literature comes from adult patients. Children seem to be less affected. Pediatric patients diagnosed with COVID-19 disease usually suffer a mild illness, with a low risk of complications, or mortality. Defining the role of children in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is critical as some national infection control decisions involving children, such as school closures or social distancing, will probably impact the dynamics of the virus. To aid in the knowledge of COVID-19 in children, this study presents an expert review of the literature published from 1 January to 28 May 2020, including peer-reviewed and preprint nonpeer-reviewed studies, along with some relevant articles afterward, summarizing ten key points that characterize the disease in children.
