Key result
Pediatric post-COVID syndrome involves multi-organ manifestations requiring non-invasive testing and interdisciplinary management.
Why the study?
Post-COVID syndrome in children involves multiple organ manifestations and academic deterioration, but its pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapy require further elucidation.
This review highlights the manifestations of post-COVID syndrome in children and proposes non-invasive diagnostic approaches and interdisciplinary management.
Post-COVID syndrome (PCS) is identified in the literature as a long-term consequence of SARS-CoV-2 infection history in adults. Children may also have PCS manifestations from different organs and systems, including the deterioration of academic performance. The article presents modern data on the main pathogenetic mechanisms and features of manifestations of the post-COVID syndrome in children. Considering the mild course of the disease in most children with PCS, it is proposed to use non-invasive and safe diagnostic tests for diagnosis, involve interdisciplinary specialists, including clinical psychologists, for early correction of disorders. The currently available data emphasize the need for additional research to identify the main risk factors for PCS formation, to substantiate the therapy complex and to assess the long-term impact of PCS on children’s health and quality of life.
