| dc.description.abstract | We carried out an observational, retrospective and descriptive study in order to identify the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of children with SARS-CoV-2 infection admitted to a Peruvian national referral hospital. We included patients from one month old to fourteen years old hospitalized between March and August 2020. A total of 125 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection were admitted, 18.4% (n = 23) had critical illness and 16.8% (n = 21) had multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C). The absence of comorbidities and previous history of epidemiological contact were more frequent in patients with MIS-C. Patients in critical condition and patients with MIS-C had lower lymphocyte and platelet counts, and higher C-reactive protein, ferritin and D-dimer values than patients who did not have said conditions. Six (4.8%) out of 125 children died, as well as 3 (13%) children from the group of patients in critical condition. None of the children with MIS-C died. | en_US |

Se ingresaron 125 pacientes con infección por SARS-CoV-2, el 18,4% (n = 23) presentaron enfermedad crítica y 16,8% (n = 21) síndrome inflamatorio multisistémico (SIM). En los pacientes con SIM fue más frecuente la ausencia de comorbilidades y el antecedente de contacto epide-miológico. Tanto el grupo en estado crítico como del grupo con SIM, en comparación con los que no tuvieron estas condiciones, presentaron menores recuentos de linfocitos y plaquetas, y mayores valores de proteína C reactiva, ferritina y dímero D. Seis (4,8%) niños de los 125 fallecieron, 3 (13%) del grupo en estado crítico y ninguno del grupo con SIM. | es_PE |
