Our pediatric treatments for Long Covid are at the forefront of medical innovation. Long Covid in children manifests with persistent symptoms for at least 8-12 weeks after the initial infection, negatively affecting their quality of life. Data collected indicates that 0.5% of children exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus develop the condition, with a higher incidence among those over 10 years old, regardless of the severity of the initial infection.
We have identified specific markers in the blood that indicate increased inflammation in children affected by Long Covid. This allows us to develop targeted therapies that address the unique needs of our younger patients. Our approach ensures comprehensive care, addressing both the physical and emotional well-being of our young patients.
