Through Yale New Haven Children’s Post-COVID Comprehensive Care Program, pediatric specialists provide care to children who are experiencing residual, prolonged effects due to COVID-19 infection also known as long COVID and COVID-19 Syndrome. These effects can range from mild to moderate and may include:
Experts in infectious disease, pulmonology, cardiology, rheumatology and neurology see patients at the Pediatric Specialty Center in the Children’s Hospital, all during a single visit. While research is underway, evidence suggests that children can experience prolonged symptoms of COVID-19 similar to adults with long COVID. A better comprehension of this condition is urgently needed for children who, months after COVID-19, still struggle to return to their normal life. Through this program, a tailored care plan is provided based on the latest research to aid their recovery. The care team also includes nurse coordinators, social workers and other interdisciplinary care team members who ensure each families’ needs are met.
In addition to addressing persistent symptoms after COVID-19, Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital offers programs involving return-to-sports clearance for children who had COVID-19 along with management of multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C).
