By Bhavana KunkalikarNov 10 2022Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in JAMA Neurology, researchers explored the distribution of severe neurologic involvement in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pediatric patients.
About the study In the present study, researchers described the extent of neurologic involvement caused by SARS-CoV-2 in children and adolescents. Results Of 2,168 patients, 58% were male, with a median age of 10.3 years. Among these, 34% experienced acute COVID-19, while 66% had MIS-C. Patients with neurologic involvement were generally older and exhibited more underlying neurologic illnesses. Younger children were more likely to experience seizures, while adolescents were more likely to experience a loss of smell and taste.

Hippo signaling pathway activation during SARS-CoV-2 infection contributes to host antiviral responseThis study shows that SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to activation of the Hippo signaling pathway in human COVID-19 lung tissue and cultured cells. The Hippo signaling pathway appears to play an antiviral role, and pharmacological inhibition of the downstream transactivator YAP reduces SARS-CoV-2 replication, with therapeutic implications.
