Article Synopsis
- Intussusception (ISN) in children after COVID-19 infection is uncommon, but evidence suggests a potential link where SARS-CoV-2 might cause immune issues that lead to ISN.
- A systematic review was conducted to assess the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in ISN cases among pediatric patients, focusing on demographics, clinical characteristics, and treatment outcomes from studies published between December 2019 and October 2022.
- The review included 34 studies analyzing 64 ISN patients with confirmed COVID-19, showing a low rate of COVID-19 infection in ISN cases and varying success rates for treatment methods, with most affected children being under 12 months old and predominantly male.
