Overview
Brief Summary
Patient are being asked to provide respiratory and blood samples for a clinical research study because the patients have a virus called the novel coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2, that causes the disease known as Covid-19.
Investigators do not know a lot about this virus, including all the ways it travels from person to person. Investigators also do not know if a person will get sick or not from the virus after being in close contact with someone who has the virus. Because of this, investigators are performing research on the virus found in respiratory secretions to get more information on how investigators can best detect and treat this new virus in the future.
Primary Objective
- To determine the clinical characteristics and outcomes of Covid-19 in children.
- To characterize the clinical risk factors of Covid-19 in children..
Secondary Objectives
- To characterize the immunological risk factors and serologic response to SARS-CoV-2 infection in children.- To evaluate the duration of viral shedding in children.
- To evaluate the duration of SARS-CoV-2 viral shedding in children. Exploratory Objective
Detailed Description
Nasal swabs will be collected from positive patient participants on Day 0. Timing of follow-up swabs will be guided by standard of care procedures. Whole blood will be collected at Days 0. Follow-up blood sampling will be guided by standard of care procedures. Samples will be stored at -80oC. Nasal swabs and whole blood will only be obtained at the same time standard of care procedures are performed. If a patient is not getting a blood draw, no sample will be collected.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Clinical risk factors of acute respiratory infection due to COVID-19 in children.
Time Frame: Baseline-day 60
Pearson or Spearman's correlation of clinical risk factors such as age, underlying diagnosis, immunosuppression with outcomes as detailed in primary objective 1 will be evaluated.
Characteristics and outcomes of acute respiratory infections due to COVID-19 in children.
Time Frame: Baseline-Day 60
Clinical characteristics, including demographics, underlying diagnosis, and signs/symptoms, and outcomes, such as hospitalization, oxygen requirements, and mortality, will be summarized with counts and percentages.
Secondary Outcomes
- Immunologic response to acute respiratory infection due to COVID-19 in children.(Baseline-Day 60)
- Duration of viral shedding and evolution in children longitudinally.(Baseline-Day 60)
- Immunologic response to acute respiratory infection due to COVID-19 in children.(Baseline-day 60)
