Pediatrics Related Questions
Are children with congenital heart diseases at increased risk of COVID-19?
- A study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association investigated the effects of COVID-17 in the pediatric and adolescent population with congenital heart disease(CHD).[1] The results found that patients with CHD are more susceptible to being infected by COVID-19 and may in fact have worse outcomes and complications due to the disease. This is as a result of their already disturbed physiologic states as well as other co-morbidities associated with congenital heart diseases.[1] For these individuals, primary prevention and infection control processes are especially crucial.
Are children with underlying conditions at increased risk of hospitalization?
- Almost all children infected with COVID-19 have excellent outcomes. However of those hospitalized due to the disease, the majority are children under the age of 1,[2][3] and those with underlying conditions. The most commonly reported conditions include:[2] [4]
- pulmonary diseases i.e; asthma
- congenital heart disease and other cardiovascular conditions
- Immunosuppression due to cancer or any of its treatment therapies, high dose of glucocorticoids, e.t.c
Is there and an association between KAWASAKI disease and COVID-19?
Is Multi-system Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) fatal? What precautions can be taken to avoid it?
Should routinely-recommended Hepatitis A and B vaccines continue to be administered to children?
Should vaccinations for HBV exposed infants be continued during the COVID 19 pandemic?
