Long COVID in Children and Young after Infection or Reinfection with the Omicron Variant: A Prospective Observational Study

To describe the prevalence of long COVID in children infected for the first time (n = 332) or reinfected (n = 243) with Omicron compared with test-negative children (n = 311). Overall, 12%-16% of those infected with Omicron met the research definition of long COVID at 3 and 6 months after infection,...
