'A systematic review today in
Pediatrics of 31 studies published through
December 2022 reveals that persistent symptoms 3 months after confirmed
COVID-19 infections, or "long COVID," affect 16% of children and adolescents.
The 31 studies included 15,000 children, and researchers recorded more than 20
persistent symptoms. For the first months of the pandemic, there was a dearth
of research and understanding on how and if children could suffer from long
COVID.
"It was thought at first that the pediatric population was relatively spared
from the long-term effects of COVID-19 after infection," the authors said. "But
this changed rapidly with increasing reports and studies of pediatric patients
not fully recovering from acute COVID-19."'
