Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID 19) originated in Wuhan, China in late 2019 and within a span of a few months it was deemed as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). It was initially only thought to affect the adult population, however soon thereafter, cases of COVID-19 in children started emerging. Many studies have now shown that this virus exhibits a milder infection in children compared to adults. As more and more pediatric cases started unveiling, an entity called Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) that replicated Kawasaki was established. More recently, it has been noted that children have persistent symptoms weeks or after months after acute COVID-19 infection and the term coined for these symptoms is Long COVID. This review will summarize all the systemic manifestations of COVID-19 under three broad categories: acute COVID, MIS-C and Long COVID.
