Abstract

Knowledge about disease progression in children and adolescents infected with SARS-CoV-2 is limited. This project aims to help close this knowledge gap. Various parameters are collected from children and adolescents treated for COVID-19 in hospitals in Switzerland in order to gain insights into the incidence, clinical manifestation and severity of the disease, PIMS-TS (Multisystem Syndrome Temporally related to SARS-CoV-2), disease progression and treatment options.
