Abstract

The article presents a review of the literature examining the clinical features of the course of new coronavirus infection in children. Available literature data indicates that children are not only less vulnerable to being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but also experience the disease much easier, which is associated with certain features of the COVID-19 clinical pattern in children. Early diagnosis of COVID-19 in children contributes to timely treatment and prevention of the spread of infection. A clinical case of new coronavirus infection in a 12-year-old child is presented.
