Abstract
This narrative review sums up data from the SARS-CoV-2-pandemia on preexisting disease/underlying conditions/comorbidities and risk factors in children for severe COVID-19 and MIS-C/PIMS-TS as well as hospitalization and mortality. Young infants and adolescents are at highest risk of hospital and PICU admission. Two or more comorbidities rather than single entities pose a risk for more severe courses of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children. Asthma and malignancy do not increase complication rates. MIS-C/PIMS-TS is not associated with any specific underlying disease. Der narrative Review fasst vorliegende Daten zu zugrundeliegenden Erkrankungen und Komorbiditäten und Risikofaktoren für schweren Verlauf von COVID-19 und MIS-C/PIMS-TS bei Kindern, erfasst als Hospitalisierung, Aufnahme auf einer Intensivstation und Tod bei Kindern, zusammen. Säuglinge und Jugendliche haben das höchste Risiko für Hospitalisierungen und Aufnahme auf einer Intensivstation. Mehr als eine Grunderkrankung/Komorbidität erhöht das Risiko für einen schweren Verlauf einer SARS-CoV-2-Infektion bei Kindern. In den vorliegenden Daten findet sich keine Assoziation eines schweren Verlaufes mit Asthma bronchiale und onkologischen Erkrankungen. Es findet sich keine Assoziation von Grunderkrankungen und Komorbiditäten mit MIS-C/PIMS-TS. Publication Date: 03 February 2022 (online) © 2022. Thieme. All rights reserved.
