SARS-CoV-2 is a new type of corona virus that has been identified as a cause of COVID-19 cases. This
disease is transmitted quickly, causes a global pandemic and can affect all ages, including children. In
children, cases are still rare and hard to be found. Because the prevalence of events in children tends to be
smaller than in adults, information about the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 infection in children is
still lacking. The aim of this research is to find out the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 infections in
children. Conducting a literature review of various scientific studies related to the clinical characteristics
of COVID-19 infection in children. The most common clinical symptoms found in pediatric patients with
COVID-19 infection are coughing, fever and gastrointestinal symptoms where these symptoms usually
tend to be mild to moderate and often the symptoms are not specific or asymptomatic. Laboratory results
are generally normal but the CT-Scan results show suspicion towards pneumonia in the majority cases of
children.
