This review compares and contrasts COVID-19 clinical and epidemiologic characteristics in children and neonates with those of other prevalent respiratory viruses. There are no distinguishing clinical features that would allow an infectious disease consultant to diagnose without laboratory testing. SARS-CoV-2 appears to be less common than RSV or influenza, with lower morbidity and mortality, and causes less severe disease in cancer-affected children.
