TLDR
Active surveillance of healthy children provided evidence of respiratory illness burden associated with several viruses, with a substantial burden in older children.

Coronavirus Infections in Children Including COVID-19: An Overview of the Epidemiology, Clinical Features, Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention Options in Children.

TL;DR: Preliminary evidence suggests children are just as likely as adults to become infected with SARS-CoV-2 but are less likely to be symptomatic or develop severe symptoms, but the importance of children in transmitting the virus remains uncertain.

COVID-19 in Children, Pregnancy and Neonates: A Review of Epidemiologic and Clinical Features.

TL;DR: The epidemiologic and clinical features of children infected with SARS-CoV-2 reported in pediatric case series to date are summarized and the perinatal outcomes of neonates born to women infected with the virus in pregnancy are summarized.

Effect of High-Dose vs Standard-Dose Wintertime Vitamin D Supplementation on Viral Upper Respiratory Tract Infections in Young Healthy Children

TL;DR: Among healthy children aged 1 to 5 years, daily administration of 2000 IU compared with 400 IU of vitamin D supplementation did not reduce overall wintertime upper respiratory tract infections and these findings do not support the routine use of high-dose vitamin D supplements in children for the prevention of viral upper respiratory tracts infections.

What's New With the Old Coronaviruses?

TL;DR: What is known about the virology, epidemiology, and disease associated with pediatric infection with the common community-acquired human coronaviruses, including species 229E, OC43, NL63, and HKU1, and the coronaviral responsible for past world-wide epidemics due to severe acute respiratory syndrome and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The human viral challenge model: accelerating the evaluation of respiratory antivirals, vaccines and novel diagnostics.

TL;DR: The disease burden for acute respiratory viral infections for which current conventional development strategies have failed to produce therapeutics that meet clinical need is described and its utility to assist in the development of novel diagnostics is described.

Global burden of childhood pneumonia and diarrhoea

TL;DR: The epidemiology of childhood diarrhoea and that of pneumonia overlap, which might be partly because of shared risk factors, such as undernutrition, suboptimum breastfeeding, and zinc deficiency, and action is needed globally and at country level to accelerate the reduction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimates of world-wide distribution of child deaths from acute respiratory infections

TL;DR: This analysis suggests that throughout the world 1.9 million children died from ARI in 2000, 70% of them in Africa and southeast Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiology of viral respiratory infections

TL;DR: Advances in diagnostic techniques have enabled more complete identification of the viruses involved in respiratory infections, which has aided in the ability to direct specific therapeutic agents at the causative pathogens.
