Article Synopsis
- The clinical presentation of COVID-19 in children ranges from asymptomatic to mild, with most cases being asymptomatic and often unrecognized in healthcare settings.
- A study at Jaber Alahmad Hospital in Kuwait found that 67.9% of infected children were asymptomatic, with a median PCR positivity duration of 15 days regardless of symptoms.
- Symptomatic infections had some associated markers, such as elevated C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels, but generally remained mild, indicating that children may experience prolonged viral shedding even when not showing signs of illness.
