“…COVID-19 infection in infants has many complications, including cardiac complications. 21,22 Saeedi, et al, compared side effect of survanta and curosurf in decreasing mortality due to RDS in premature infants. They concluded that Survanta and Curosurf are similar in treatment of neonatal RDS.…”

Background: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a type of lung development defect that is commonly seen in preterm births. Deficiency of pulmonary surfactant due to immaturity is the principal cause of RDS in premature infants. This study was conducted with the aim of Iranian surfactant (Beraksurf)’s effect in treating RDS in premature neonates. Methods: In this study, all infants who were premature and had RDS were included in the study. Also, the infants were examined based on primary and secondary outcomes. Primary outcomes include the duration of need for nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP), number of surfactant administration, and secondary outcomes including bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), pneumothorax, and pulmonary hemorrhage. Results: A total of 162 neonates with a mean gestational age of 31.28 ± 2.58 weeks were evaluated. The 120 people (74.1%) used medicine only on the first day, 19 people on other days, and 23 people on the first and second day. Also, 141 children (87.6%) were discharged from the hospital and unfortunately, 20 children (12.4%) died. The prevalence of pneumothorax, BPD, and pulmonary hemorrhage was 1.8%, 1.2%, and 1.2% respectively. Also, 69.7% needed less than five days of mechanical ventilation and 30.2% needed more than 5 days of mechanical ventilation. Conclusion: Considering getting better treatment results from taking Beraksurf, as well as fewer side effects and the fact that this drug is Iranian, and due to its easier access and cheaper price, we can pay more attention to the prescription of this drug.

“…The decrease in the incidence of SARS-COV2 in pediatrics, in addition to the greater number of mild and asymptomatic cases, continues to cause problems in determining the appropriate methods of treatment and prevention. 4 The similarity between the spike protein of the coronavirus (protein S) and the ACE-2 receptor, which is located in the heart, intestines, lung epithelial tissue, and kidneys may reveal some of the cardiac involvement of the SARS-COV2 infection. 5,6 In adults, in response to acute infection with COVID-19, high levels of cytokines have caused damage to various organs.…”

Background: During the COVID-19 epidemic, many neonates were involved, but they had fewer complications and deaths than adults. Therefore, in this review study, we investigated the immune mechanisms of neonates in response to COVID-19. Methods: We reviewed articles that evaluated the immune system, COVID-19, or SARS-COV2 in neonates. We searched the databases of Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, SciELO, and CNKI databases published up to December 2022. Results: There are different immune mechanisms in response to COVID-19 in infants, which lead to a different response to COVID-19 compared to adults. The important mechanisms include lower expression of ACE2 receptor, abundant of naive T cells, absence of cytokine storm, abundant of immunosuppressive cells, less inflammatory reactions, breastmilk secretory IgA, transfer of IgG through the placenta, and absence of chronic comorbidities. Also, in comparison with pediatrics multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS‐C) doesn’t observe in neonates. Conclusion: The exact immune mechanisms in response to COVID-19 in infants have not yet been discovered, but knowing the exact mechanisms can be effective in future treatments, the production of effective vaccines, and other viral treatments, so there is a need for more investigations in this field.

Background: There is little data on the mortality rate and severity of COVID-19 infection among pediatrics. This knowledge is particularly significant because pneumonia is the main underlying cause of death in children worldwide. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the mortality rate of COVID-19 in the pediatric population in Iran. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the publications was conducted based on the PRISMA guidelines to search for COVID-19 child mortality. PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Medline databases, and Persian database were searched for publications on pediatric COVID-19 infections published in Iran with a focus on mortality in children with COVID -19 infection in Iran between January 1st to April 30th, 2021. Articles representing at least one Pediatric with and without comorbidities, COVID-19 infection, and informed outcomes were examined. Results: Eight studies including three case series, and five retrospective cross-sectional studies altogether representing a total of 238 pediatric patients with COVID-19 were included in this meta-analysis. Of this population, 14 patients had died. In this study, the mean age of the study sample was 6.7 years. The mortality rate among children hospitalized with COVID-19 was 9% (95% CI 0.055-0.146). Also, children with comorbidities had a higher risk of COVID-19 related mortality. Conclusion: Unlike adults, most infected children are asymptomatic and are not usually hospitalized. Children with underlying conditions are at increased risk of severe COVID-19 related mortality than children without underlying illness. More attention should be paid to children with comorbidities and children of young age.
