RESUMEN
En diciembre de 2019 desde China se reportaron casos que fueron llamados inicialmente «neumonía de origen desconocido»; el agente causal de esta neumonía es un nuevo coronavirus, el cual fue nombrado coronavirus 2 del síndrome respiratorio agudo severo (SARS-CoV-2). El término COVID-19 se utiliza para definir la enfermedad clínica causada por SARS-CoV-2. En niños la enfermedad parece ser más leve que en los adultos, por lo que se han propuesto varias hipótesis para explicar este comportamiento. Sin embargo, los lactantes, niños y adolescentes con comorbilidades tienen cuadros relativamente más severos. En esta revisión presentamos las diferencias entre niños y adultos con COVID-19, las manifestaciones clínicas (enfatizando en el síndrome postinflamatorio multisistémico), las pruebas diagnósticas y el papel de los niños en la transmisión comunitaria de la infección.
