ABSTRACT
Owing to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), lung damage is seen as an important problem in patients after recovery. In this study, evaluation of respiratory symptoms and lung ultrasonography (LUS) findings of those who have had symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 disease in children was aimed. A total of 81 patients with positive and 18 healthy children with negative COVID-19 antibodies were included to the study. The most common late presentation symptoms were cough (85.2%), shortness of breath (77.8%), and chest pain (60.5%). In LUS, 2 or less B lines, 3 or more B lines, and Z line were seen in 66.7%, 33.3%, and 9.9% of patients, respectively. There was no significant difference between control and patients in terms of these parameters (P > .05). Pleural effusion was detected in 2 patients in the late period. Respiratory system findings may develop in the late period in patients infected with COVID-19. Therefore, patients should be followed closely.
