A summary of the differences between pediatric and adult COVID-19

ABSTRACT

Children of all ages can get COVID-19. However, through examinations, studies have found that COVID-19 presents itself differently in children than in adults;it appears to be milder in children, but there is a higher chance of severe disease in high-risk children. The pediatric multi-system inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) is a severe complication of COVID-19 in children with different case definitions. Breast eeding is an important issue concerning mothers infected with COVID-19 as there is a debate about whether rooming in or separation is the preferrable method for the child's wellbeing.
