On May 6, local time, CNN reported that millions of children in the United States had the symptoms of "long-term COVID-19". According to the data of the American Academy of Pediatrics, nearly 13million children have been diagnosed with COVID-19 since the outbreak of newcrown.
Studies have shown that 2 to 10 percent of these children will have "long-term COVID-19" symptoms. According to the research, the proportion of adults with "long-term COVID-19" symptoms is about 30%.
Medical experts said that there is no specific test method for "long-term COVID-19" and the symptoms are different. Some children will have heart failure, palpitation, chest pain and dizziness, or stomach disease after being infected with novel coronavirus. In addition, because "long-term COVID-19" is difficult to detect, it has been neglected for a long time.
It is reported that many experts have paid attention to this problem and called on the medical community to pay attention to the possibility of "long-term COVID-19" in children.
