Abstract

It was believed that COVID-19 spared the pediatric population, presenting in mild or asymptomatic forms. However, months after the pandemic, the medical community encountered a new challenge,  post-COVID syndrome (Long COVID) in children and adolescents. This article provides a detailed overview of the symptoms, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment approaches for this prolonged condition, aiming to raise awareness among pediatricians, parents, and educators. Based on an analysis of current literature, the paper emphasizes the multifaceted nature of the clinical presentation and the need for an interdisciplinary approach to rehabilitation.
