Objective: To compare respiratory morbidity and aeroallergen sensitization in children born before and during the pandemic.

We describe a case of adult croup in an 18-year-old female caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Her complaints started as lower respiratory tract symptoms that evolved into stridor, barking cough, and dyspnea. The patient was diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing from a nasopharyngeal swab.

This case report details an atypical etiology of laryngotracheitis (croup) in a three-year-old child diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Unlike typical croup cases, the patient required hospitalization and multiple administrations of racemic epinephrine for respiratory distress. The author highlights the importance of considering COVID-19 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)) as a potential etiology of croup in children.

Background: We aimed to compare the clinical features and severity of the Omicron and Delta variant infections among children hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Methods: Children 12 years old or less hospitalized for COVID-19 across five hospitals between January 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022 were identified using the state's pediatric COVID-19 registry. Delta and Omicron-infected patients without previous COVID-19 infection, COVID-19 vaccination, or co-infections were propensity-score matched 1:1 to control for differences in baseline characteristics.
