description | Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020 remains a major public health challenge until mass vaccination. The number of SARS-CoV-2 positive children aged 0-17 years has been increasing as older adults are vaccinated. Infected children tend to have less severe illness compared with adults, have predominantly respiratory or GI symptoms, or no symptoms. Children have an increased risk for multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), which is unique. Neuropsychological complications of COVID-19 remain uncommon. Case reports and data from series exist. We report a case of tremors as sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a non-verbal adolescent with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). |
