Children account for only about 1–5% of confirmed COVID-19 cases and generally experience milder disease than adults, with better prognoses, lower hospitalization rates, and very low mortality. Reported symptoms such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath occur less frequently in children than in adults, and a notable minority present with ocular manifestations (e.g., conjunctival discharge). Individual studies characterizing this clinical presentation and its severity are detailed in the child nodes.

Symptomology of COVID-19 in Children

Studies of pregnant individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 consistently find that a large share are asymptomatic at the time of admission for delivery, which prompted recommendations for universal screening on admission rather than symptom-based testing alone. Among symptomatic patients, most experience mild disease, while severe or critical illness is uncommon. Because COVID-19 in pregnancy can produce a presentation resembling HELLP syndrome, careful differential diagnosis is needed to avoid unnecessary obstetric interventions. Individual screening studies (New York City and southern Connecticut), a case series of infants born to infected mothers in Wuhan, and work on the HELLP-like presentation are detailed in the child nodes.
