- Abstract
Objective: The objective was to analyze the scientific evidence on the clinical manifestations presented by children infected with COVID-19. Method: Integrative review conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS, Web of Science, SCOPUS and SCIENCE DIRECT databases from December 2019 to June 2020. Twenty articles were selected. Results: Two thematic categories emerged: "Mild or moderate clinical features" and "COVID-19 associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome". Most children were infected by their parents or close relatives. The symptoms presented by children were predominantly mild or moderate and with quick recovery. The main clinical manifestations presented by children infected with SARS-CoV-2 were fever, gastrointestinal signs, respiratory signs, and more recently, symptoms similar to those of Kawasaki Disease, which was called COVID-19 associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome. Conclusion: Faced with this, health professionals must be alert to recognize these cases in order to offer appropriate and timely management during health care.
