Fact sheet for the treatment and management of pediatric COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) - French

The International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) Clinical Practice Consensus Guidelines 2018 for management of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and the hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state provide comprehensive guidance for management of DKA in young people. Intravenous infusion of insulin for treating DKA may necessitate intensive care unit admission in hospitals in some parts of the world. During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, ICU services may need to be prioritised for care of affected individuals

Aim: To summarize the current knowledge about the potential cardiovascular involvement in pediatric COVID-19 in order to give a perspective on how to take care of them during the current pandemic emergency.

Objectives: There was an outbreak of pediatric multisystem inflammation syndrome (PMIS) was observed in multiple countries recently, and this syndrome was suspected to be associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. At present, there is still no standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment regimen for PMIS, while the etiology and pathogenesis still remain unclear.

Objective: Our aim was to investigate the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 in children.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, laboratorial, and radiological characteristics of children with COVID-19.

Objective: This review characterizes clinical symptoms, laboratory, and imaging findings, as well as therapies provided to confirmed pediatric cases of COVID-19.

Objective: This systematic review with meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the epidemiological spectrum and clinical characteristics of children infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Objective: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) associated with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a rare and challenging diagnosis requiring early treatment. The diagnostic criteria involve clinical, laboratory, and complementary tests. This review aims to draw pediatrician attention to this diagnosis, suggesting early treatment strategies, and proposing a pediatric emergency care flowchart.

Objective: To develop a more comprehensive description of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a novel syndrome linked to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, by conducting a systematic analysis of studies from different settings that used various inclusion criteria.

Introduction: The novel coronavirus pandemic is an ongoing challenge faced by the public and health care systems around the globe. Majority of information and evidence gathered so far regarding COVID-19 has been derived from data and studies in adult populations. Crucial information regarding the characterization, clinical symptomatology, sequelae, and overall outcomes in the pediatric population is lacking. As such, we aimed to conduct a comprehensive meta-analysis and systematic review to collect and analyze current evidence about COVID-19 in the pediatric population.

Objective: To report the findings from different types of clinical specimens collected from 82 infected individuals

Objective: In order to determine the spectrum of disease in children, we evaluated children infected with SARS-CoV-2 and treated at the Wuhan Childrens Hospital, the only center assigned by the central government for treating infected children under 16 years of age in Wuhan.

Objective: To report the clinical and epidemiological features in children with coronavirus diseases (COVID) in China.

Objective: To retrospectively review two confirmed pediatric cases from two family clusters. Both clinical features and laboratory examination results of the children and their family members were described.

Objective: This study examined the epidemiological characteristics and transmission patterns of 2143 pediatric patients with COVID-19, using a retrospective analytical approach.

Objective: For this retrospective study, authors identified all hospitalized infants diagnosed with COVID-19 infection between December 8, 2019, and February 6, 2020, in China and described demographic, epidemiologic, and clinical features.

Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in newborns, infants and children

Objective: This report summarizes the epidemiologic features and the snapshots of the outbreak in the Republic of Korea from January 19 and March 2, 2020.

Objective: To describe the clinical features of severe pediatric patients with COVID-19.

Objective: To study the viral load courses by RT-PCR in oro- and nasopharyngeal swabs, sputum, stool, blood, and urine in nine hospitalized cases. Infectious virus was detected by cell culture.

Objective: We report here on peculiar (perniosislike) skin lesions, unreported in the previous years, observed in young outpatients visited in our dermatologic unit in the last 4 weeks of COVID19 pandemic (MarchApril 2020).

Objective: The Coronavirus Infection in Pediatric Emergency Departments (CONFIDENCE) study involved a cohort of 100 Italian children younger than 18 years of age with Covid-19 confirmed by reverse-transcriptasepolymerase-chain-reaction testing of nasal or nasopharyngeal swabs who were assessed between March 3 and March 27 in 17 pediatric emergency departments. Here, we describe the results of the CONFIDENCE study and compare them with those from three cohorts in previously published analyses.

Objective: We have recently noticed an outbreak of chilblainlike lesions in Italy contemporarily to COVID19 epidemic. Due to the wellknown lockdownrelated difficulties to visit the patients, we created a Google form aimed to collect information about patients presenting with these singular clinical findings. An easy to access and quick tool was chosen by the investigators in order to permit the other colleagues to spend the least amount of time, given the severe health emergency.

Objective: Since December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has extended to most parts of China with >80 000 cases and to at least 100 countries with >60 000 international cases as of 15 March 2020. Here we used a household cohort study to determine the features of household transmission of COVID-19.
