Description
Summary:The pandemic of a new severe infection, announced by the World Health Organization last year, is still spreading. To a certain extent, the epidemic has affected the pediatric population. Children have not been left out of the spread of COVID-19, and this applies even to newborns. The lecture presents summary data on the results of clinical observations both in the Tushino Children’s City Clinical Hospital in Moscow and scientific sources. A new disease is really new. This applies to its pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment tactics with the use of modern medicines. For the first time, pediatricians are faced with the incredible situation where adults are more severely affected than children. It was noted that due to the limited period and scarce observations, all recommendations existing at this stage are temporary and undoubtedly subject to clarification. Most information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on a child is in clinical trials and is en route to be introduced into pediatric practice.
