Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:This study has weaknesses. First, we could only contact 70% of patients in the two week follow up despite calling by phone two times and sending messages using WhatsApp. Second, the reporting of symptoms at the moment of diagnosis was subjective, although since it is an acute disease recall bias is less likely. Third, data from laboratory and imaging tests was limited to patients in HPS and were ordered by attending physicians. The findings could have varied in children that were not hospitalized or in the few that were admitted to other institutions. Although the majority of patients in this series had no symptoms, or mild or moderate disease, the possibility of complications exist, mainly in children with comorbidities (11,17,18). The three patients that died had concomitant pathologies. The proportion of severe or critical disease should remain low in the next months of the pandemic but considering that cases are still increasing this may represent a logistical challenge for pediatric and general hospitals. The two positive neonates also highlight that, although infrequent, neonatal infection may develop and should be considered in hospital with maternal wards. Fortunately, though, the burden of COVID-19 in pediatric wards should be less than what the influenza virus annually causes (16).
