of children in hospital with COVID-19 developed a neurological symptom, the most common being headaches and altered mental status.
"But this study shows that the frequency of neurological manifestations is high — and it may actually be higher than what we found because these symptoms are not always documented in the medical record or assessable. For example, we can't know if a baby is having a headache." Most patients were admitted between July and December 2020 and 58 per cent had a pre-existing condition. Of those, the most common were respiratory and neurological at 20 per cent each.Of all the children in the study, 44 per cent had at least one neurological sign or symptom.
Ultimately, neurological conditions were more common in children with MIS-C than those with acute disease. Children with MIS-C also were more likely to have two or more neurological symptoms.
