A survey of over 32,000 caregivers of youth in Chicago Public Schools found that around a quarter of children and adolescents were described as stressed, anxious, angry or agitated after pandemic-related school closures and the switch to remote learning. Around a third of youth were described by caregivers as lonely and only one-third were described as having positive social and peer relationships. Across the board, caregivers reported significantly worse psychological well-being after school closures as compared to before. Findings were published in the journal
JAMA Network Open.

While neurological complications of COVID-19 in children are rare, in contrast to adults, an international expert review of positive neuroimaging findings in children with acute and post-infectious COVID-19 found that the most common abnormalities resembled immune-mediated patterns of disease involving the brain, spine, and nerves. Strokes, which are more commonly reported in adults with COVID-19, were much less frequently encountered in children. The study of 38 children, published in the journal
Lancet, was the largest to date of central nervous system imaging manifestations of COVID-19 in children. Thanks to a major international collaboration, we found that neuroimaging manifestations of COVID-19 infection in children could range from mild to severe and that pre-existing conditions were usually absent, says co-senior author Susan Palasis, MD, Division Head of Neuroradiology at Ann & Robert H.
