The lymphadenopathies in children are frequent and mostly benign, therefore it is essential to decide what patients should undergo further studies.
Objective: To describe the potential usefulness of a new suspicious ultrasound sign on pediatric lymphadenopathies that can orient the diagnosis of malignancy.
Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which resulted in the worldwide coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic of 2020, has particularly affected Latin America.
Objective: The purpose of the study was to analyze the imaging findings of pulmonary COVID-19 in a large pediatric series.
Materials And Methods: Children with SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by either quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction from nasopharyngeal swabs or presence of circulating immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies and who underwent chest radiograph or CT or both were included in this retrospective multicenter study.
