COVID-19 in children poses a significant challenge due to the atypical/asymptomatic presentations. The study is aimed to help understand clinical characteristics in Indonesian children for better management and control of transmission.
clinical characteristics of children with confirmed COVID-19 were retrospectively analysed from the database dating from March to November 2020.
the study revealed a high prevalence (67.3%) of asymptomatic cases from contact tracing population. The most common symptoms in children with confirmed COVID-19 were cough and fatigue. Among symptomatic patients, 14/21 (66.7%) had either radiological and/or clinical evidence of pneumonia.
children with respiratory symptoms especially those with contact history should be screened for possible COVID-19 infection regardless of disease severity.
由于非典型/无症状表现,儿童新冠病毒病(COVID-19)带来了重大挑战。本研究旨在帮助了解印度尼西亚儿童的临床特征,以便更好地管理和控制传播。
对2020年3月至11月数据库中确诊COVID-19儿童的临床特征进行回顾性分析。
研究显示,在接触者追踪人群中无症状病例的患病率很高(67.3%)。确诊COVID-19儿童最常见的症状是咳嗽和乏力。在有症状的患者中,14/21(66.7%)有影像学和/或临床肺炎证据。
有呼吸道症状的儿童,尤其是有接触史的儿童,无论疾病严重程度如何,都应筛查是否可能感染COVID-19。
