At the end of 2019, a novel coronavirus began to spread in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. The confirmed cases increased nationwide rapidly, in part due to the increased population mobility during the Chinese Lunar New Year festival. The World Health Organization (WHO) subsequently named the novel coronavirus pneumonia Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and named the virus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Soon, transmission from person to person was confirmed and the virus spread to many other countries. To date, many cases have been reported in the pediatric age group, most of which were from China. The management and treatment strategies have also been improved, which we believe would be helpful to pediatric series in other countries as well. However, the characteristics of neonatal and childhood infection still have not been evaluated in detail. This review summarizes the current understanding of SARS-CoV-2 infection in neonates and children from January 24 to May 1, as an experience from China.
2019年底，一种新型冠状病毒开始在中国湖北省武汉市传播。确诊病例在全国迅速增加，部分原因是中国农历新年期间人口流动性增加。世界卫生组织（WHO）随后将新型冠状病毒肺炎命名为2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19），并将该病毒命名为严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）。很快，人传人的传播得到证实，该病毒传播到许多其他国家。迄今为止，儿科年龄组已报告了许多病例，其中大多数来自中国。管理和治疗策略也得到了改进，我们认为这对其他国家的儿科病例也将有所帮助。然而，新生儿和儿童感染的特征仍未得到详细评估。本综述总结了自1月24日至5月1日中国对新生儿和儿童感染SARS-CoV-2的当前认识。
