Materials and Methods:
We contacted the Lebanese Ministry of Health to collect data about pediatric patients who tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus in Lebanon and their outcomes. We also contacted colleagues familiar with the epidemiology of infectious diseases in different countries of the region for information about their local cases. We reviewed updated information from the CDC and searched Pubmed for publications related to COVID-19 in pediatric patients till the end of April 2020. 45 relevant articles were identified, including cases series, review articles and observational studies.
