Children with COVID-19 tend to show milder symptoms than adults during the pandemic, but growing evidence of neurological involvement has emerged. Some studies have reported neurological symptoms in children with COVID-19, which include multisystem inflammatory syndrome, a disease that shares some, but not all, of the characteristics of Kawasaki disease. This review presents, and discusses, the evidence to date. Our initial findings suggest that neurological manifestations can be considered to be the direct result of central nervous system viral invasion or post-infection immuno-mediated disease.

Abstract
Children with COVID-19 tend to show milder symptoms than adults during the pandemic, but growing evidence of neurological involvement has emerged. Some studies have reported neurological symptoms in children with COVID-19, which include multisystem inflammatory syndrome, a disease that shares some, but not all, of the characteristics of Kawasaki disease. This review presents, and discusses, the evidence to date. Our initial findings suggest that neurological manifestations can be considered to be the direct result of central nervous system viral invasion or post-infection immuno-mediated disease.File in questo prodotto:
