| ABSTRACT India is experiencing a new surge in Covid-19 cases in most parts of the country. A new sub-variant of Omicron, XBB.1.16 which is far more aggressive and immune evasive than other sub-lineages of Omicron, is responsible for this outbreak. In this preliminary account, we describe key clinical characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 infected children, visiting an outdoor department of a pediatric hospital in a north Indian city. Our preliminary findings show a higher involvement of young infants than older children and mild respiratory illness predominates other presentations. One interesting finding was the presence of itchy, non-purulent conjunctivitis with mucoid discharge and stickiness of eyelids in 42.8% of positive infants. None of the children required hospitalization. All recovered with symptomatic treatment. | |
