In trying to understand the spread of the disease, one of the most notable features is that only a small number of severe SARS-CoV-2 infections have involved children. In trying to understand the spread of the disease, one of the most notable features is that only a small number of severe SARS-CoV-2 infections have involved children. 4 Furthermore, SARS-CoV-2 infection in children differs from adults in that they have a lower prevalence of increased C-reactive protein, signifying a milder immunological response and less immune damage. 1 The viral load in patients with mild disease showed to be lower compared with those having severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. 2 Reports from severe disease in infected healthcare workers further hint towards an association between higher viral load in critically ill patients and transmission of more severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. ./cache/cord-323440-u3iz79kk.txt ./txt/cord-323440-u3iz79kk.txt
