A call to invest in immunological determinants of pediatric post‐COVID conditions: Insights from a post‐COVID pANCA+ diffuse alveolar hemorrhage in an adolescent

Abstract

COVID p-ANCA vasculitis. [6][7][8] All together, these observations drive me to ask the whole scientific community to recognize that post-viral illness (and, therefore, PCCs), although less frequently than in adults, can impact on children as well. Only if the whole scientific community and major international journals recognize this problem, researchers involved in pediatric PCCs and families will have the possibility to access the needed resources for research, diagnostics, and treatments. Ultimately, this will help all the hidden and neglected children and young people that have suffered or are still suffering from uncharacterized postinfectious chronic diseases. 9
