Sumario:BACKGROUND: Whether long coronavirus disease pertains to children as well is not yet clear. METHODS: The authors performed a survey in children suffering from persistent symptoms since initial infection. A total of 510 children infected between January 2020 and January 2021 were included. RESULTS: Symptoms such as fatigue, headache, muscle and joint pain, rashes and heart palpitations and issues such as lack of concentration and short-term memory problems were particularly frequent and confirm previous observations, suggesting that they may characterize this condition. CONCLUSION: A better comprehension of long coronavirus disease is urgently needed.
