Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a fatal virus caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has become a pandemic across the world. Despite early concerns, children appear to be less susceptible to acquiring SARS-CoV-2 and manifest minor clinical symptoms compared with adults. However, there still exists a risk of physical and psychological health problems in children and their families. In this review, we summarize the existing information about the mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the epidemiology of COVID-19, and the clinical manifestations, treatments, and further considerations regarding COVID-19 in children.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的一种致命病毒,已在全球范围内大流行。尽管早期存在担忧,但与成年人相比,儿童似乎较不易感染SARS-CoV-2,且临床表现较轻。然而,儿童及其家庭仍存在身心健康问题的风险。在本综述中,我们总结了关于SARS-CoV-2感染机制、COVID-19流行病学以及儿童COVID-19的临床表现、治疗方法和进一步考虑因素的现有信息。
