A retrospective study (1st to 31st of March, 2020) of children less than 15 years old with primary or secondary immunosuppression infected with SARS-CoV-2 and treated at the University Hospital La Paz, Madrid, Spain, was performed. Hydroxychloroquine was initiated upon diagnosis (positive PCR for SARS-CoV-2) when there were signs/ symptoms of moderate-severe disease (respiratory signs, pneumonia on chest X ray, blood parameters of severity such as lymphopenia or elevated CRP, D-dimer or Il-6). In this small series, 8 immunocompromised patients with COVID-19 disease are reported, accounting for 15% of the positive cases detected in children in a reference hospital. Based on our experience, monitoring of children with immunosuppression and COVID-19 disease can be performed as outpatients, if close monitoring is possible with radiological and blood test controls if necessary, and carefully selecting the patients depending on their individual risk. ./cache/cord-340070-de7sfccy.txt ./txt/cord-340070-de7sfccy.txt
