We describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of 16 children and young adults with severe acute COVID-19 who were treated with tocilizumab. Patients who were discharged by day 28 were more likely to be treated with tocilizumab earlier in their COVID-19 illness and had lower ferritin and interleukin-6 levels compared with those who were not discharged by day 28.
