Longterm Influence of Pediatric Long COVID Syndrome

August 5, 2024 updated by: National Taiwan University Hospital

Longterm Influence of Pediatric Long COVID Syndrome on the Neuropsychiatric Function, Social Function, Neuroimage, and Gut Microbiota

We enroll pediatric patients who were diagnosed COVID-19 for main observation target. We will perform brain MRI and neuropsychiatric evaluation 4-6 months after COVID-19 diagnosed. We also enroll healthy age- and gender-matched participant for cross-over comparison. We will perform same evaluation process one year later for longitudinal evaluation
