Antiviral Treatment in Pediatric COVID-19 Patients

Abstract

There is no clear protocol for the treatment of COVID-19 in children. Also, like adults, not every child with a positive nasopharyngeal polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is an indication for treatment. The treatment is decided according to the children's underlying risk factors, complaints, findings of physical examination and laboratory values. Possible side effects of drugs should also be considered when making a treatment decision. Supportive treatment is the main treatment protocol in children. The necessity of antiviral treatment should be decided in the light of the literature by determining the conditions such as disease severity, clinical course, presence of underlying disease.

Çocuklarda COVID-19 Tedavisinde Antiviral İlaçlar

Year 2021, Volume: 28 Issue: COVİD-19 ÖZEL SAYI, 133 - 135, 01.05.2021

Abstract

Çocuklarda COVID-19 tedavisi ile ilgili kabul edilmiş net bir protokol yoktur. Aynı zamanda erişkinler gibi nazofarengeal polimeraz zincir reaksiyon (PCR) testi pozitif her çocuk da tedavi endikasyonu oluşturmamaktadır. Çocukların altta yatan risk faktörleri, şikayetleri, fizik muayene bulguları ve laboratuvar değerlerine göre tedaviye karar verilmektedir. İlaçların gelişebilecek istenmeyen etkileri de tedaviye karar vermede önemlidir. Çocuklarda ana tedavi protokolünü destek tedavisi oluşturmaktadır. Antiviral tedavi gerekliliğine hastalık ciddiyeti, klinik seyir ve önceden mevcut risk faktörlerinin varlığı gibi durumlar belirlenerek literatür eşliğinde karar verilmelidir.
