Abstract

Although most children are spared from developing complications from SARS-CoV-2 infection, some may suffer consequences including Long Covid and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Although the occurrence of these conditions has decreased over time, they can still occur, and recognition of symptoms and prompt diagnosis is imperative for early intervention.
