Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause respiratory illness in humans. It is contagious disease which an infectious disease that is readily spread by transmission of a pathogen through contact with an infected person. The first case of covied19 was reported Dec 2019, may have originated in an animal and changed so it could cause illness in humans infectious disease outbreaks have been traced to viruses originating in birds, pigs, bats and other animals that mutated to become dangerous to humans (Page et al., 2021).
The symptoms of covied19 in children are variable depending on ranging from mild symptoms to a potentially fatal illness (Niazkar, 2021). Common symptoms include coughing, fever, loss of smell, headaches, nasal congestion and runny nose, muscle pain, sore throat, diarrhea, eye irritation,[and toes swelling or turning purple. In moderate cases pneumonia, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. develop severe symptoms dyspnea, hypoxia, develop critical symptoms respiratory failure, septic shock and multiorgan dysfunction (CDC, 2021).
Most common complication in children multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a condition where different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs (Cirks et al., 2021). Kawasaki disease is a syndrome of unknown cause that results in a fever. It is a form of vacuities, where blood vessels become inflamed throughout the body, the skin from the hands and feet may peel, after which recovery typically occurs. In some children and coronary artery aneurysms form in the heart (Brogan et al., 2020).
Significance of the study
Global spread of covied 19 in April 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in >890,000 cases and >45,000 deaths worldwide. The first case was recorded in Egypt on February 2020 (Ministry of health, 2020). Coronavirus Cases in Egypt until march 2021 about 133,970,545 and Deaths about 2,905,296 and Recovered about 107,987,016(CDC, 2022).
The total number of confirmed children cases on May 2020 was 5895case in Egypt, with case fatality rate of 6.9%. Children were affected like other age groups, but total incidence was less than 10%. Confirmed cases had a positive real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test result for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 (WHO, 2021).
