Astımlı Çocuklarda COVID-19 Etkisi

Akut şiddetli respiratuar sendrom koronavirüs-2 (SARS-CoV-2) kaynaklı koronavirüs hastalığı 2019 (COVID-19), özellikle akciğerleri tutarak ciddi ve ölümcül sonuçlara neden olabilmektedir. Hastalığın çocuklarda erişkinlere göre daha hafif seyirli olduğu bildirilmiştir, ancak erişkinlerde olduğu gibi çocuklarda da kronik hastalıklar ciddi COVID-19 hastalığı için risk oluşturabilmektedir. Özellikle kronik akciğer hastalıkları risk faktörü olarak kabul edilirken, çocukluk çağında astımın COVID-19 için risk oluşturup oluşturmadığına dair net bir veri henüz yoktur. Bunun yanında, pandemi dönemindeki çevresel, toplumsal ve sağlık sistemindeki değişikliklerin pediyatrik astım hastalarının takibine ve hastalık kontrolüne olumlu ve olumsuz etkileri gözlenmektedir. Bu yazıda, astımlı çocuklarda COVID-19’un etkilerinin belirlenmesi ve bu süreçte pediyatrik astımın yönetimi için literatür gözden geçirilmiştir.
