Long-term Sequelae Following Dengue Infection vs SARS-CoV-2 Infection in a Pediatric Population: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Lower overall risk of postacute complications was observed in children following dengue infection vs COVID-19; however, higher risk of appendicitis was reported 31 to 300 days after dengue infection vs SARS-CoV-2. Public health strategies to mitigate the impact of dengue and COVID-19 in children should consider the possibility of chronic postinfectious sequelae.
