Abstract
AIM: The objective of the study is to describe neurologic manifestation in children with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah Hospital.
METHODS: This was a retrospective descriptive study using the medical record with a total sampling of children with confirmed COVID-19 that manifests neurologic symptoms. Exclusion criteria were pre-existing neurologic comorbidities and incomplete medical records.
RESULTS: From March 2020 to December 2021, from 308 children with confirmed cases of COVID-19, 106 had neurologic symptoms, 17 were excluded (16 pre-existing comorbidities, and 1 incomplete medical record), and total samples were 89 (28.8%) from inpatient and outpatient. Most children were male (57.3%) with a median age of 13 years. Most symptoms found were anosmia (73%), followed by a decrease in consciousness (19.1%) and seizure (10.1%). Children with anosmia median age were 14 years. There were 84 (94.3%) children with specific neurological symptoms (encephalopathy, seizures, and anosmia) and 5 (5.7%) with non-specific neurological symptoms (headache).
CONCLUSION: There were 28.8% confirmed cases of COVID-19 with a neurologic manifestation, and most symptoms found were anosmia (73%).
期刊介绍:
Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (OAMJMS) [formerly known as Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences] is a top-tier open access medical science journal published by the ID Design 2012/DOOEL Skopje, Rajko Zhinzifov No 48, 1000 Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. OAMJMS is an international, modern, general medical journal covering all areas in the medical sciences, from basic studies to large clinical trials and cost-effectiveness analyses. We publish mostly human studies that substantially enhance our understanding of disease epidemiology, etiology, and physiology; the development of prognostic and diagnostic technologies; trials that test the efficacy of specific interventions and those that compare different treatments; and systematic reviews. We aim to promote translation of basic research into clinical investigation, and of clinical evidence into practice. We publish occasional studies in animal models when they report outstanding research findings that are highly clinically relevant. Our audience is the international medical community as well as educators, policy makers, patient advocacy groups, and interested members of the public around the world. OAMJMS is published quarterly online version. The Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (OAMJMS) publishes Medical Informatics, Basic Science, Clinical Science, Case Report, Brief Communication, Public Health, Public Policy, and Review Article from all fields of medicine and related fields. This journal also publishes, continuously or occasionally, the bibliographies of the members of the Society, medical history, medical publications, thesis abstracts, book reviews, reports on meetings, information on future meetings, important events and dates, and various headings which contribute to the development of the corresponding scientific field.
