SARS-CoV-2 virus has caused world-wide pandemics since the end of 2019. Up to now, many different variants have been identified. The different variants have resulted in multiple waves of Covid-19 diseases. It is worthwhile to note that current world literatures have shown that although there are many similarities among children with SARS-Cov-2 infection, there are also many dissimilarities among children who were infected with SARS-Cov-2. These dissimilarities vary in different geographic areas and different ethnic groups. These differences manifested not only in the acute phase of the Covid-19 disease but also in the post-infectious phase of the Covid-19 disease. These differences may even be noted in the long Covid phase.
This Research Topic aims to encourage healthcare professionals in the field of pediatrics to work to uncover the details of these similarities and dissimilarities in the clinical manifestations in different phases of Covid-19 in children with different ethnic/geographical backgrounds. We hope to discover different phenotypes to further promote the scientific/medical bases for better understanding and management of children with Covid-19 in different areas of the world, as well as to provide a source for different phenotypic manifestation and time course of SARS-Cov-2 infection, such as ARDS in the early phase of Covid-19 and Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) or long Covid syndrome phase.
We welcome submissions of the following subtopics, but not limited to:
1. Exploring the ethnic/geographic differences of clinical manifestation among children with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
2. Uncovering the scientific basis to account for the phenotypic differences in Covid-19, such as genetic, epidemiological or big-data analysis, etc.
3. Probing into the ethnic/geographic differences of clinical manifestation among children with SARS-CoV-2 infection, in turn to allow pediatric healthcare professionals/scientists to find the potential route for prevention and management for children with Covid-19 including acute illness and long Covid.
