Don’t tell me that COVID doesn’t affect children. Our schools need to be much safer than they are.

‘Strikingly, sC5b9 levels were abnormal even in children with minimal disease or an incidental finding of SARS-CoV-2 infection, suggesting that any exposure to SARS-CoV-2 may be sufficient to induce elevations in this biomarker.’
‘Elevations in sC5b9 correlated with evidence of renal dysfunction, implying that higher levels of terminal complement activation were associated with renal injury.’
‘The presence of elevated sC5b9 levels in all SARS-CoV-2 groups compared with healthy control subjects suggests that complement activation and thrombotic microangiopathy are prevalent in pediatric patients with SARS-CoV-2 infections.’
‘It is therefore possible that there could be unrecognized long-term consequences of TMA due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Future work is needed to better understand the long-term sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection and SARS-CoV-2–related TMA.’
