“…In some case series, deterioration of the clinical picture wherein dyspnea, cyanosis, and the onset of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) emerged approximately 8-10 days after the onset of SARS-CoV-2 infection, which could rapidly progress to multiple organ failure and death (14). In a pediatric series of children with COVID-19, 30.8% presented shortness of breath that required oxygen supplementation and 23.1% were transferred to intensive care unit (ICU) for organ dysfunction (15). In another case series of 41 children hospitalized for COVID-19, 11 of these presented lung lesions compatible with a picture of interstitial pneumonia (16).…”

COVID-19 is less serious in children than in adults. However, respiratory management dominates the clinical picture of hospitalized COVID-19 even in children. In some case series, deterioration of the clinical picture wherein dyspnea, cyanosis, and the onset of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) emerged ~8–10 days after the onset of SARS-CoV-2 infection, which could rapidly progress to multiple organ failure and death. This review aimed to evaluate the characteristics of COVID-19 pneumonia in pediatric populations, beginning from its etiology and pathological mechanisms and closing with its clinical management.

“…As the consequence, the immune system of frontliners can be compromised due to continuous psychological distress and physical exhaustion thus made them vulnerable to COVID-19 infection. (Cai et al, 2020). Furthermore, according to a study was conducted in several city in China, specifically the province of Chongqing, the study found that, somatization was reported frequently (Xiaoming et al, 2020) with 42.7% among nurses frontliners experienced identifiable somatic symptoms such as headaches, lethargy, sore throats in regards to respond to their psychological stress burden .…”

The COVID-19 pandemic is a novelty that is affecting everyone. Pandemic-related problems, such as isolation and quarantine, social distance, economic and social pressure, may arise to cause major psychological problems specifically to those whom get infected by COVID-19, followed by frontliners such as health care workers and generally public. Thus, this study was conducted to explore psychological stress among health care worker amid COVID-19 pandemic, coping strategies and needs required by health care workers. This qualitative method, using purposive sampling with semistructured via phone/online interviews among thirteen health care worker who worked in Government Clinic and Hospital in one of the District in Pahang state, Malaysia. Data was analysed using thematic analysis. 13 health care personnel were participated in this study with at least about 10 years working experiences. Demographic data include various variable such age, gender, role, marital status, working experiences and their original department. Data analysis discovered that 3 major themes capturing the important elements involves and contributed to psychological stress among health care worker during COVID-19 pandemic from this cohort group. The themes were classified as COVID-19 implications, coping strategies and needs. Each of the themes are further elaborated in details through the identification of sub-themes which consist of Psychological Effect, Working Environment, Social Effects, Self-care, Expression of Feelings (Emotion focused), Problemfocused coping strategie, Psychosocial support and Resource Management. Therefore, it is important to deal and recognize the ongoing distress that could be negatively impaired frontliners. Regular contact between support person should be consider to improve better self-adaptation, positive coping skills and self-care strategies. Nevertheless, consideration among policy makers and government are highly expected in serving frontliners while facing struggles and challenges during present pandemic.

The article emphasizes on medical and social monitoring of the incidence of acute bronchitis and pneumonia in children and elucidates the peculiarities of the course of these diseases during the Covid-19 pandemic. It has been established that the main cause of acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI), including pneumonia and bronchitis, and other respiratory diseases, is an impairment of the mechanisms of specific and non-specific protection. In terms of prevalence, bronchitis and pneumonia occupy the first place among broncho-pulmonary diseases in children. Recurrent bronchitis occurs in children of different ages, but most often in the childhood period from 4 to 7 years. The highest number of hospitalized children with acute bronchitis and pneumonia was observed in the city of Hlukhiv and the Hlukhiv district, Sumy region, in 2019; the number of boys significantly exceeded the number of girls. The main cause for the decrease in the incidence and pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is still remaining unclear. Although this decrease in incidence was attributed to reduced exposure and risk factors during the initial phase of a pandemic, it is now understood that biological factors that interfere with the pathogenesis of infection and the immune response may play a protective role in children compared to the more aggressive clinical manifestations seen in adults. The data obtained demonstrate the patients with acute bronchitis have different numbers of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Some patients, 43 out of 64, have normal ESR values, within 4-12 mm / h (p <0.05). With an exacerbation of the process, an increase in ESR is noted in the range of 12-14 mm / h in 21 patients. We have found out acute pneumonia in children is associated with complex changes in blood parameters, and, in particularly, with neutrophilic leukocytosis, increased hemoglobin up to 170 ± 1.4 g / l, an accelerated ESR, a significant increase in platelets. The positive effect of physiotherapy exercises and massage can also improve the parameters of the peripheral blood in the children. Thus, these supportive measures maintain the general mechanisms of homeostasis.
