Worldwide experience about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemics suggests that symptomatic disease is significantly less frequent in the pediatric age range. Nevertheless, multi-system inflammatory syndrome has been consistently reported in children and has been associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 exposure. In this paper we give an overview of the multimodality chest imaging of pediatric patients with suspected COVID-19, focusing on relevant differences with adults.
全球范围内关于2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行的经验表明,有症状的疾病在儿童年龄范围内的发生率明显较低。然而,儿童中持续报告有多系统炎症综合征,且与严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2暴露有关。在本文中,我们概述了疑似COVID-19的儿科患者的多模态胸部成像,重点关注与成人的相关差异。
