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.
