Abstract

The prevalence of post-COVID-19 condition is not well defined. We describe a cohort of 244 children diagnosed with COVID-19 and followed up for 6 months, in which 4.9% of patients had persistent symptoms at 12 weeks. Anosmia was the most frequent symptom. Being female and having more than 3 symptoms in acute infection were associated with an increased risk of post-COVID.
