"Long-Term Effects of COVID-19 on Children's Health Revealed in National Study"
TL;DR
Data from 96 studies revealed that a substantial proportion of pediatric COVID-19 patients with neurological symptoms exhibit abnormal neuroimaging findings, with encephalitis being one of the most common. The study emphasizes the necessity for continued research into the long-term consequences of COVID-19 in children and the importance of a high index of suspicion for neurological complications in pediatric COVID-19 cases. However, the study has limitations, and further research is needed to confirm the potential association between COVID-19 and neuroimaging findings.
