A coronavirus study shows children can 'have minimal symptoms or no symptoms, but are infectious' for COVID-19, says a UCLA infectious diseases expert.
by experts in Wuhan, China, published in the Journal of the American Medical Assn., sought to review all hospitalized infants diagnosed with COVID-19 infection between Dec. 8 and Feb. 6 in China.
“None of the nine infants required intensive care or mechanical ventilation or had any severe complications,” the study said. “We also should attach importance to asymptomatic cases, which may play a critical role in the transmission process,” the report said. “Respiratory droplets and contact are the main transmission routes. Close contact with symptomatic cases and asymptomatic cases with silent infection are the main transmission routes of [novel coronavirus] infection in children.”
Most infected children have no fever or symptoms of pneumonia, and few progress to infections of the lung, the report said. Infected children may either show no signs of illness, or have fever, dry cough and fatigue; few have upper-respiratory symptoms such as a runny nose or nasal congestion, and some report a stomach ache, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
