"While children were initially thought to be spared from the worst of
SARS-CoV-2, more than two years later, long COVID clinics are full of pediatric
patients, with parents looking for guidance on a range of symptoms affecting
their kids' daily lives.
The emergent nature of long COVID makes it especially difficult to define,
diagnose, and treat, particularly for children, according to Lawrence Kleinman,
MD, MHP, of the Department of Pediatrics at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical
School in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
"If you look at some of the early information that came out — you can go find
headlines on the web … that said children are spared — we started this
pandemic thinking kids weren't a part of it, and it's impacted the policy ever
since," Kleinman told
MedPage Today. "And we know that's just not true. It's
a myth."
As part of the steering committee for the RECOVER Initiative, a National
Institutes of Health-sponsored collaboration of more than 100 researchers,
Kleinman has been focused on research in pediatric long COVID cases."
