Abstract

Abstract : Little is known about the sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children. In a COVID-19 dedicated clinic, we followed-up for 4 months 25 children previously hospitalized for COVID-19, performing clinical, laboratory, and lung ultrasound evaluation. Mid-term sequelae were rarely observed in our COVID-19 children's cohort.
