Abstract:

Case Presentation In this article, we investigated six children who were infected by COVID-19 and discuss the various symptoms of disease in children. Conclusion In this article, we investigated six children with various clinical manifestations, and based on our patients' presentations, death undoubtedly occurs among children infected by COVID-19. The majority of our sample population includes boys, therefore we suggest this theory that this virus is more probable to be severe among the male gender.
