ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES@#To study the epidemiological and clinical features of children with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by Delta variant infection and their differences from children with ordinary COVID-19 (non-Delta variant infection).@*METHODS@#Eleven children aged <14 years, who were diagnosed with COVID-19 caused by Delta variant infection from August to September 2021 were enrolled (variant group). Five children aged <14 years who were diagnosed with ordinary COVID-19 from February to March 2020 served as the control group. The epidemiological data, clinical features, and laboratory examination results were compared between the two groups.@*RESULTS@#There was no significant difference in the proportion of children with clinical symptoms between the two groups (@*CONCLUSIONS@#Delta variant is more infectious. COVID-19 caused by Delta variant infection may cause more serious myocardial damage than ordinary COVID-19 in children. In children infected with Delta variant, IgG antibody appears at almost the same time as IgM antibody.
