Abstract

Objective: To compare some clinical and paraclinical charactistics of children and adults with B.1.1.7 variant of SARS-CoV-2. Subjects: 53 children and 207 adults infected by B.1.1.7 variant of SARS – CoV – 2 in Hai Duong province from January, 2021 to March, 2021. Methods: Descriptive analytical research. Results: The percentage of asymptomatic patients is high in both groups (77,3% in children and 77,4% in adults). There is no difference in the rate of pneumonia and findings on chest X-ray. In the pediatric population, no patients require ventialtion, dialysis, supplemental oxygen or admission to the intensive care unit. However, in the adult group, this rate is higher with statistical significance (p < 0,05). Leukocytosis and leukopenia are seen, respectively, in 15,1% and 9,4% of children, with no difference to adults. The odds of liver enzymes elevation and renal failure reports no difference between two populations. Conclusion: The severity of the clinical and paraclinical manifestations of the infection in children is milder than in adults.
