    INTRODUCTION

    There is increasing evidence that adult patients diagnosed with acute COVID-19 suffer from Long
    COVID initially described in Italy (1). A recent large cohort of 1733 patients from Wuhan found
    persistent symptoms in 76% of patients 6 months after initial diagnosis (2). To date, data on Long
    Covid in children are scarce, with the exception of an earlier description of five children with
    Long Covid in Sweden (3). We assessed persistent symptoms in pediatric patients previously
    diagnosed with COVID-19

    5 minute skim

    No indication of a PEM parameter
    89% white
    Infection Timeframes / screening may be important as indications that variants can have more effects on children ( eg Kent)
    Fatigue reduced to single symptom yes / no

    Interesting re what may have been screened for post Covid - how many access this full screening to make it comparable ?
