Perbedaan Gejala Flu pada Anak dengan COVID-19

Oleh :

dr.Theresia Santi SpA

Anak dengan infeksi COVID-19 memperlihatkan spektrum gejala klinis yang sangat bervariasi, mulai dari tanpa gejala, gejala ringan seperti flu biasa, hingga gejala berat dan kritis. Sejak awal diumumkannya kasus Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) di Wuhan China, telah timbul perhatian khusus mengenai dampak virus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus (SARS-CoV 2) ini pada anak, baik perhatian dari orang tua maupun dari para ahli di bidang Ilmu Kesehatan Anak.[1,2]

Gejala COVID-19 umum berupa gejala infeksi respiratorik akut (IRA), seperti batuk dan pilek, yang sering disebut dengan istilah gejala flu biasa. Artikel pada website Ikatan Dokter Anak Indonesia (IDAI) pernah membahas tentang istilah “flu biasa” sebagai istilah yang rancu dalam menggambarkan gejala batuk dan pilek ringan pada anak.[1-3]
