Crowded outpatient clinics and common wards in many hospitals in low and middle-income countries predispose children, caregivers, and health care workers to infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We report on the clinical features and outcomes of 15 children with cancer at our center who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Five out of 15 patients were symptomatic, and one patient required intensive care and respiratory support. All the patients in the study have recovered from the SARS-CoV-2 infection without any sequelae and have resumed their cancer treatment.
低收入和中等收入国家许多医院门诊和普通病房人满为患，这使儿童、护理人员和医护人员容易感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）。我们报告了我们中心15例SARS-CoV-2检测呈阳性的癌症患儿的临床特征和治疗结果。15例患者中有5例出现症状，1例患者需要重症监护和呼吸支持。研究中的所有患者均已从SARS-CoV-2感染中康复，没有任何后遗症，并已恢复癌症治疗。
