Highlights
Children with COVID 19 disease are less symptomatic but they can be potential agents of transmission.
Most children with symptoms from COVID 19 disease (cough, fever, respiratory difficulties) show bnormalities in CXR.
Findings in CXR are non-specific and superimpose on other viral pneumonias.
Peripheral distribution of lung abnormalities is not a distinctive feature in paediatric population.
CXR have a role in the management of the disease in children.
