“…Throughout the study of the course, the percentage of positive test results for children who had a confirmed COVID-19 contact was 38.9% (95 CI 36.3-41.6), which was 7.0 times higher than the percentage for children who had no confirmed COVID-19 contacts (5.6%, 95 CI 4.9-6.3, Chi-square test P = 0.001). [25] The most commonly reported symptoms included mood fluctuations, rashes, gastrointestinal problems, coughing, and lack of appetite among children aged 0-3 years old while children between the ages of 4 and 11 years most frequently had mood fluctuations, memory loss, attention issues, and rashes. The symptoms of long COVID are described as new symptoms that appeared with SARS-CoV-2 infection and persisted for 8 weeks following the discovery of a positive SARS-CoV-2 examination result.…”

Coronaviruses, a type of virus family, cause severe respiratory diseases in people. The coronavirus is most frequently linked to the common cold, but in persons with SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) virus infection, it can also lead to serious respiratory sickness. The spread of the coronavirus is by having direct contact with infected saliva, mucus, or blood. Infected surfaces, such as those in hospitals or other healthcare facilities, can potentially spread the infection when touched. Now spreading globally is the Omicron version of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). According to preliminary studies, the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 has a higher probability of re-infection. To recognize COVID-19 as well as omicron people in hospitals and primary health care, this review study focuses on the symptoms and indications. The data was collected and analyzed from more than one hundred high-impact original research papers to conclude their results and make a comparison between methods and findings.

“…From the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, guidelines related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing in symptomatic children were implemented in many countries [ 1 ]. In France, the first guidelines were published in September 2020, and many changes occurred during the different pandemic waves [ 2 ]. For children, the safe return to school (or daycare center) had driven the testing strategies to control the virus transmission [ 3–5 ].…”

“…For children, the safe return to school (or daycare center) had driven the testing strategies to control the virus transmission [ 3–5 ]. Several studies have shown that the clinical symptoms induced by SARS-CoV-2 in ambulatory children are not specific or sensitive and may cover the whole range of clinical syndromes induced by respiratory viruses in children—for example, the common cold, pharyngitis, flu-like illness, bronchiolitis, otitis, and croup [ 2 ].…”

Background In autumn 2022, the epidemics due to SARS-CoV-2, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and influenza overlapped and these diseases can be presented with the same symptomatology. The use of a triple antigen test (SARS-CoV-2+ Flu A/B+RSV) seems crucial for accurate viral diagnosis in the context of implementing long-acting monoclonal antibody vaccination against RSV in the upcoming RSV season. Methods We assessed the usefulness of the triple test in real life in this prospective study performed from October 2022 to May 2023 and involving 116 pediatricians (2 emergency department pediatricians and 114 ambulatory pediatricians). Children < 15 years old with flu-like illness (with fever), bronchiolitis (dyspnea ± wheezing), otitis, and croup were enrolled and sampled with a nasal triple test. Results For 8,329 children with flu-like illness (65.3%), bronchiolitis (17.9%), otitis (8.8%), and croup (6.3%), the use of the triple test led to a viral diagnosis in 47.9% of cases. The highest RSV positivity occurred in children with bronchiolitis (32.9%). The highest influenza A and B positivity (24.6% and 19.6%) occurred in children with flu-like illness. A succession of 3 epidemics (RSV and influenza A and B) occurred over time with several overlap periods. Conclusions The triple test allowed for a viral diagnosis in half of our cases. The upcoming introduction of RSV prevention will emphasize the need for active surveillance with viral results both in ambulatory settings and hospitals.
