Acute COVID Illness Characteristics
All subjects had positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing or confirmed close
household contacts with positive SARS-CoV-2 testing at the time of
initial illness. The most common reported acute COVID-19 symptoms were
fever (69%), cough (55.2%), dyspnea (48.3%), ageusia/anosmia (41.4%)
and myalgia (37.9%) (Table 2 ). Only four patients (13.8%)
required hospitalization during initial illness. All four were treated
with systemic steroids and one received remdesivir. No patient required
intubation. One additional patient was hospitalized six weeks after
acute symptom onset owing to multisystem inflammatory syndrome in
children (MIS-C). Chest radiograph opacities were present in 3 of 13
patients (23%) who had imaging performed at the time of acute illness.
