Objective:
To map the symptoms of Long Covid (LC) presented by children and adolescents.
Method:
This is a scoping review, using the search engines Web of Science, Scopus, Virtual Health Library, and PUBMED, following the principles of the Joanna Briggs Institute.
Results:
Sixteen studies were selected, which showed that fatigue, headache, dyspnea, and cough were the most frequent symptoms of LC. There is a tendency for the development of child-adolescent LC related to the increase in age range, and the correlation between LC and predominant sex proved to be inconclusive. The presence of comorbidities, such as obesity, respiratory, neurological and renal diseases, was the most reported and a study showed an association between Covid-19 vaccine protection and LC.
Conclusion:
This review points to a plurality of symptomatic manifestations of LC in children and adolescents, changing according to age group and health history.
