نبذة مختصرة : Objective:To review all pre-selected publications on COVID-19 casesin the pediatric populationand to formulate an organized synthesis addressing fundamental and specific points of the disease performance in children.Data sources:We used a crossover of keywords “coronavirus infections” and “childhood, to search scientific publications in the Virtual Health Library in the databases: LILACS, PubMed, and Google Scholar. We then selected publications that: 1) relevance, 2) addressed the theme of coronavirus infection mainly in childhood; 3) elucidated clinical particularities of COVID-19 in the child population; and 4) were published either in English or Portuguese. We excluded all publications that had conflicts of interest and those that were not available in full.Summary of the data:We identified 9,150 publications based on our keywords search which only 38 of them met the selection criteria for our analyses. Studies registered different patterns of COVID-19 infections in childhood when compared to adults, with less aggressive manifestations. However, studies report that infected children and young people symptoms can have serious complications with manifestation of multisystemic inflammatory syndrome, characterized by the late occurrence of vasculitis similar to Kawasaki's syndrome, incomplete Kawasaki's and/or toxic shock syndrome.Conclusions:Overall, epidemiology indicates a lower rate of contamination and a lower number of cases with severe outcomes in the pediatric population. However, the potential for transmissibility and the factors that determine serious outcomes in the pediatric population are still uncertain, which calls for greater investments so we can best protect and serve our upcoming generations. ; Objetivo: Revisar las publicaciones preseleccionadas sobre COVID-19 en la población pediátrica y formular una síntesis organizada que aborde puntos primordiales y específicos de la atuación del SARS-CoV-2 en niños.Fuentes de datos: Se realizó un cruce entre los descriptores registrados en la Lista de la ...
