Abstract

The project examines the prevalence of relatively mild cases of COVID-19 among children and young (0-17 years). The project will map the clinical and immunological host responses in the group and will identify different levels of immune stimulating or suppressing cytokines after to be able to target medicinally treatments to ease the course of disease in severely affected patients of all ages.
