“…Although decisions about allowing children to exit their homes, and to restart schooling, are ultimately value judgements, we think that understanding current risks to children from COVID-19 can be aided through epidemiology and that this understanding should underpin decision-makers' and parents' views. 2 We accept that there is much to learn about this new disease, and that the virus is likely to change during the pandemic and add new complexities.…”

“…A particularity of SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans is infection development without symptoms, or with light symptoms in children [63] , [64] . Such a fact demonstrates that physiological differences between adults and children provoke different responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection.…”

Currently, the world is suffering with one of the biggest pandemics of recent history. Caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is provoking devastating consequences on economic and social fields throughout all continents. Therefore, pathophysiological knowledge about COVID-19 is imperative for better planning of preventive measures, diagnosis, and therapeutics of the disease. Based on previous studies, this work proposes new hypothesis related to the role of the renin-angiotensin system on the pathophysiology of COVID-19, and its purpose is to enrich the discussion and to offer alternative ways for experimental and clinical studies aiming at the formulation of new diagnosis and / or treatment methods.

“…Respecto al pronóstico del COVID-19 en esta población, varios estudios (18,19) señalan que en general los niños contagiados tuvieron un buen pronóstico, incluso aquellos ingresados en la unidad de cuidados intensivos, registrándose un solo fallecimiento (20). Por otra parte, Munro et al (16) demostraron que los niños tienen un riesgo de contagio similar al de los adultos, con menos síntomas (18).…”

En Colombia, con la actual pandemia por COVID-19, algunas unidades de sueño suspendieron la realización de estudios de sueño en población pediátrica, debido al probable contagio y propagación. De acuerdo con las autoridades competentes, desde junio del 2020, Colombia se encuentra en la fase de mitigación del COVID-19 y las medidas obligatorias de prevención implementadas por el gobierno colombiano como el lavado de manos frecuente, el uso de tapabocas en sitios públicos, el distanciamiento físico y social y el confinamiento de la mayoría de la población en sus hogares, han ayudado a reducir la velocidad de propagación del virus. Sin embargo, debido a la grave crisis económica causada por la pandemia, las autoridades sanitarias locales han emitido varias medidas de bioseguridad para retornar poco a poco a una relativa normalidad, incluyendo la prestación de servicios de salud a pacientes no COVID-19. El objetivo de este artículo es realizar recomendaciones para que las unidades de sueño locales implementen las medidas de bioseguridad mínimas que permitan el reinicio y adecuado desarrollo de los estudios de sueño en población pediátrica. Estas recomendaciones se basan en las estrategias de mitigación establecidas por las autoridades sanitarias locales, en una revisión de la literatura relevante disponible y en las recomendaciones de algunas asociaciones de medicina del sueño.
