Children's immune system better prepared to defend against SARS-CoV-2, study finds

Why are severe courses of SARS-CoV-2 infection much less common in children and adolescents than in adults? Scientists at the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) have now discovered that the immune system in the upper respiratory tract is much more alert and active in children before infection than in adults and is therefore better equipped to fight the virus.

Long-term lung issues and lower quality of life plague COVID-19 survivors, new study warns

New research in Scientific Reports reveals that COVID-19 survivors, especially those who had severe or critical illness, face long-term lung complications and a reduced quality of life. The study recommends 6-monthly pulmonary function tests for these survivors to monitor for chronic lung damage.

Strong antibody response and nasal cytokines may protect young children from severe COVID-19

New research helps explain why young children have lower rates of severe COVID-19 than adults. A study of infants and young children found those who acquired SARS-CoV-2 had a strong, sustained antibody response to the virus and high levels of inflammatory proteins in the nose but not in the blood.
