Pediatric autoimmune diseases in the light of COVID-19 pandemic, A retrospective observational big data study
This comprehensive analysis reveals significant changes in pediatric autoimmune disease incidence following the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting potential associations between SARS-CoV-2 infection and autoimmune dysregulation. The diverse patterns observed across different conditions highlight the complex interplay between viral infection and autoimmunity, emphasizing the need for continued surveillance and investigation of long-term immunological consequences of COVID-19 in pediatric populations.
