First encountered in the 2019 COVID-19 virus has a high transmission capacity, and children are not spared. Therefore, we set a goal, referring to the experience of the countries in which the infection spread the earliest and widest, to make a summary of the characteristics of COVID-19 in the pediatric population. Of course, the most significant thing is the variation in the clinical manifestation, the correct assessment of the clinical risk of lung damage, as well as the laboratory and imaging methods of examination that support a reliable diagnosis. The therapy section of the article describes all the possible strategies for therapeutic behavior. Despite the rapidly growing theoretical information and shared clinical experience, the article could be a foundation on which to add and expand theoretical and practical knowledge.
