Clinical characteristics of children with SARS-CoV-2 infection in a hospital in Latin America / Laura Fernanda Niño Serna ; Eliana López Barón ; Isabel Cristina Maya Ángel ; Carolina Tamayo Múnera
Título : Clinical characteristics of children with SARS-CoV-2 infection in a hospital in Latin America Tipo de documento : documento electrónico Autores : Laura Fernanda Niño Serna, ; Eliana López Barón, ; Isabel Cristina Maya Ángel, ; Carolina Tamayo Múnera, Fecha de publicación : 2022 Títulos uniformes : Frontiers in Pediatrics Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave : pediatrics comorbidity inpatients pediatric intensive care unit Latin America COVID-19 Resumen : Objective: COVID-19 infections have shown a different behavior in children than in adults. The objective of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pediatric patients seen at a reference hospital in Colombia. Method: A descriptive, observational study in patients under the age of 18 years with a positive test for SARS-CoV-2 infection (RT-PCR or antigen) between April 2020 and March 2021. Multiple variables were studied, including demographic data, clinical characteristics, lab measurements, treatments administered, intensive care unit admission, and mortality. Results: A total of 361 patients were included of whom 196 (54%) were males. The median age was 3 years. Of all the patients, 65 (18%) were asymptomatic. The majority of patients had no comorbidities (n = 225, 76%). In those who were symptomatic (n = 296, 82%), the most frequent complaints were fever (n = 178, 60%), nasal congestion (n = 164, 55%) and cough (n = 149, 50%). Chest x-rays were normal in 73 patients (50%). When abnormalities were found, interstitial (29%) and alveolar (12%) patterns were the most prevalent. One hundred and fifty-seven children (53%) required general ward hospitalization, and 24 patients (8%) required pediatric intensive care admission. The global mortality was 0.8% (3 patients). Conclusions: The majority of cases were asymptomatic or mild. However, a significant percentage of patients required general ward admission, and some even required intensive care. The main symptom of COVID-19 infections in newborns was apnea. A second COVID-19 RT-PCR may be necessary to detect infections in critically ill patients with a high clinical suspicion of the disease if an initial test was negative.
