SARS-CoV-2 infection in children and implications for vaccination

Jordan Nathanielsz et al.

Summary: This article provides an up-to-date account of SARS-CoV-2 infections in children and discusses the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 on children. It highlights the increased risk of infection in children due to the emergence of variants of concern and the implementation of childhood immunization programs globally to mitigate the impact.

Robustness of reported postacute health outcomes in children with SARS-CoV-2 infection: a systematic review

Julian Hirt et al.

Summary: A systematic assessment of reported postacute SARS-CoV-2 infection health outcomes in children reveals a serious limitation in the robustness of the studies. None of the studies provide reliable evidence on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on postacute health outcomes and the extent of the impact.

SARS-CoV-2 infections in children: Understanding diverse outcomes

Petter Brodin

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 infections in children usually result in mild or asymptomatic infections, and the reasons behind this are not fully understood. Possible explanations include more efficient local tissue responses, better thymic function, and crossreactive immunity. Post-infectious hyperinflammatory syndromes are rare in children and young people, but very rarely seen in adults. This article offers an additional explanation to mild infections, viral dynamics, and the higher incidence of rare multisystem inflammatory syndromes in children and young people from a life history and energy allocation perspective.

Children develop robust and sustained cross-reactive spike-specific immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection

Alexander C. Dowell et al.

Summary: Children exhibit stronger and more sustained immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection, with higher levels of antibodies and T cell responses compared to adults, and the ability to neutralize various viral variants. These findings suggest that children may have a more robust immune system against the virus, potentially providing insight into the milder clinical presentation of SARS-CoV-2 in most children.

Immunology of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children

Janet Chou et al.

Summary: Children are generally resistant to severe disease resulting from SARS-CoV-2 infection, but cases of pediatric COVID-19 and a new syndrome called MIS-C can occur. Studies have identified immunological differences between children and adults in their response to SARS-CoV-2, which helps to understand the pediatric immune mechanisms to the infection.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 Disease Severity in Children Infected With the Omicron Variant

Adeel A. Butt et al.

Summary: According to data from the National COVID-19 Database in Qatar, Omicron variant infection causes milder disease in children/adolescents compared to Delta variant infection, as reflected by lower hospitalization rates and the need for intensive care unit (ICU) care or mechanical ventilation. Children aged 6 to <18 also have less severe disease compared to those younger than 6 years old.

Distinguishing Admissions Specifically for COVID-19 From Incidental SARS-CoV-2 Admissions: National Retrospective Electronic Health Record Study

Jeffrey G. Klann et al.

Summary: This study aims to quantify the frequency of incidental hospitalizations during the early stage of the pandemic in multiple hospital systems in the United States and to improve COVID-19 hospitalization classification using electronic phenotyping techniques. The results showed that a large proportion of SARS-CoV-2 PCR-positive admissions were incidental, and EHR-based phenotyping methods were effective in differentiating hospitalizations.

Increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection associated with emergence of Omicron in South Africa

Juliet R. C. Pulliam et al.

Summary: This study provides two methods for monitoring reinfection trends in routine surveillance data. The results suggest immune evasion by the Omicron variant in previously infected individuals in South Africa, and there has been an increase in the risk of having a third infection since mid-November 2021.

Summary: This study analyzed cases of myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination and found a rare bimodal pattern, with a peak occurring 1-3 days post-vaccination for myocarditis, mostly in males under 30, and a second peak occurring 15-30 days post-vaccination for pericarditis, predominantly in males under 40 and both sexes over 40.

SARS-CoV-2 Reinfection Rate and Outcomes in Saudi Arabia: A National Retrospective Study

Maram Al-Otaiby et al.

Summary: This retrospective national study in Saudi Arabia identified 4454 reinfection cases of SARS-CoV-2, accounting for 0.8% of the population. Most of the reinfections were among unvaccinated individuals, and a small percentage resulted in severe or fatal disease. The study also found that comorbidities, obesity, pregnancy, and working in healthcare facilities were strongly associated with reinfection. The Delta variant (B.1.617.2) was the most prevalent variant among the reinfection cases.

Rapid emergence of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant is associated with an infection advantage over Delta in vaccinated persons

Chrispin Chaguza et al.

Summary: This study found that the odds of being infected with the Omicron variant were higher among vaccinated individuals compared to the Delta variant, and these odds increased with the number of vaccine doses. The positivity rates for the Delta variant were significantly reduced after two and three vaccine doses compared to unvaccinated individuals, while the positivity rate for the Omicron variant only significantly decreased after three doses.

Summary: Quantification of asymptomatic infections is crucial for effective public health responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Analyzing over 350 studies, it was estimated that 35.1% of infections never developed clinical symptoms and were truly asymptomatic. At the time of testing, 42.8% of cases showed no symptoms, including both asymptomatic and presymptomatic infections.
