CONCLUSION
We would like to conclude from our present study observation that in
pediatric cancer patients of North-East India COVID-19 positivity was
significantly high in symptomatic patients compared to asymptomatic
patients. Among COVID-19 positive childhood cancer patients risk of
death was significantly higher compared to COVID-19 negative patients.
To validate our current observation future studies with larger sample
size need to be done.
