BACKGROUND AND AIM
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Its outbreak in many states of the world, forced the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a pandemic. Currently, COVID-19 has infected 1 991 562 patients causing 130 885 deaths globally as of 16 April 2020. The aim of this review is to underline the epidemiological, clinical and management characteristics in children affected by COVID-19.
METHODS
We searched Pubmed, from January to April 2020, for the following search terms: "COVID-19", "children", "SARS-COV2", "complications", "epidemiology", "clinical features", focusing our attention mostly on epidemiology and symptoms of COVID-19 in children.
RESULTS
Usually, infants and children present milder symptoms of the disease with a better outcome than adults. Consequently, children may be considered an infection reservoir that may play a role as spreader of the infection in community.
背景与目的
2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）引起。其在世界许多国家爆发，迫使世界卫生组织（WHO）宣布其为大流行病。截至2020年4月16日，COVID-19已感染1991562名患者，全球造成130885人死亡。本综述的目的是强调受COVID-19影响儿童的流行病学、临床和管理特征。
方法
我们在2020年1月至4月期间在PubMed上搜索了以下检索词：“COVID-19”、“儿童”、“SARS-COV2”、“并发症”、“流行病学”、“临床特征”，主要关注儿童COVID-19的流行病学和症状。
结果
通常，婴幼儿和儿童的疾病症状比成人轻，预后更好。因此，儿童可能被视为感染储存库，可能在社区中作为感染传播者发挥作用。
