Points & Pearls Excerpt

  • SARS-CoV-2 typically leads to a less severe infection in children than in adults.11,12 (See Table 1.)
  • It is important to ascertain the patient‘s exposure to COVID-19–positive contacts and COVID-19 vaccination history.
  • Children who should be evaluated immediately include infants aged <2 months with fever and older children with >3 days of fever, respiratory distress, or any sign of organ dysfunction, including decreased urine output.13
  • If patients with COVID-19 are well-appearing with only upper respiratory symptoms and fever, no laboratory studies are necessary.
