Asthma and COVID-19 in children: A systematic review and call for data
Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children. It is unclear whether asthma is a risk factor for coronavirus disease 2019. SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 have been linked to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in pediatric populations. There is scarcely any data on whether childhood asthma constitutes risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 severity. Studies are needed that go beyond counting the number of cases in the pediatric age range.
