Risk of Sequelae of COVID-19 in Children Cared for by Primary Care Pediatricians

Abstract

148 Italian children (n=148) suspected of and evaluated for COVID-19 infection during the first phase of the pandemic were followed-up for 6 months. During the follow-up period, no difference in the prevalence of new-onset respiratory, dermatological or neurological symptoms, nor in psychological distress, were observed in children who were positive and negative for SARS-CoV-2.
