The Effects of COVID-19 Infections on Children

May 6, 2021 by CHOC

Dr. Robert Kaplan speaks to a local publication about the lingering symptoms of a COVID-19 infection and children.

These children can be very ill and end up in the hospital and even in the ICU, needing long-term follow-up. Many will have continuing cardiac problems. These children become very ill abruptly and tend to have high fevers, respiratory symptoms, rashes and more.
