Background: In endemic COVID-19, immunocompromised children are vulnerable until vaccinated but the optimal primary vaccination regime and need for booster doses remains uncertain.
Methods: We recruited 19 immunocompromised children (post-solid organ transplantation, have autoimmune disease or were on current or recent chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia), and followed them from the start of primary vaccination with BNT162b2 mRNA SARS-CoV-2 until 1-year post-vaccination. We investigated the quality of vaccine immunogenicity, and longevity of hybrid immunity, in comparison to healthy children.
Introduction: The aim of the study was to summarize and update clinical features and outcomes of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in neonates (MIS-N).
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted of studies on MIS-N published in PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CNKI, and WHO COVID-19 databases between 1 December 2019 and 30 June 2023. Reference lists of selected articles, Google Scholar, and pre-print servers were searched for additional studies.
