Long COVID Symptoms in Pediatric Patients
About 32.5% of pediatric patients experienced long COVID symptoms lasting more than 1 year following acute COVID-19 infection.
According to a study published in Frontiers in Pediatrics, approximately one-third of pediatric patients exhibit long COVID symptoms a year after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, with the most common symptoms being fatigue, reduced physical activity, and headache.
Researchers found that both children and adults may experience long-lasting symptoms following acute COVID-19 infection, with significant variation in the reported prevalence across studies.
A prospective cohort study was conducted to explore the prevalence and duration of long COVID symptoms in pediatric patients using a standardized follow-up tool.
