CONCLUSIONS
SARS-CoV-2 CAP is associated with more use of advanced respiratory support than other viral-associated CAP, and is also related to lower leukocyte and lymphocyte counts, less wheezing or shortness of breath and lower CRP. Nevertheless, the overall prognosis is usually good. Although we found some significant differences, many clinical and analytical findings often overlapped. Given that PCR can remain positive for some weeks in children with a positive detection of SARS-CoV-2, we should not automatically exclude the possibility of other viral pathogens.
