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.
