A study of children up to age 14 in Denmark finds that those who had been infected by SARS-CoV-2 were more likely to have symptoms at least 2 months later—commonly called "long COVID"—but the risk appears to be only slightly higher than in their uninfected peers.The study, published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, investigated the duration of long COVID symptoms as well as quality-of-life scores and it involved 10,997 infected children (cases) and 33,016 uninfected controls whose parents or guardians filled out surveys from Jul 20, 2021, to Sep 15, 2021.One important caveat: Children involved in the study tested positive for COVID-19 largely before the more serious Delta variant — and well before the highly transmissible Omicron variant — had appeared on the scene.Risk of long COVID: 21% to 78%For the study, researchers from the University of Copenhagen and the University of Southern Denmark sent surveys to the mothers or guardians of children from 0 to 14 years old who had tested positive for COVID-19 from January 2020 to July 2021.The surveys asked about the 23 most common symptoms of long COVID in children and used the World Health Organization's definition of long COVID as symptoms lasting more than 2 months.Cases-patients had higher odds of reporting at least one symptom lasting more than 2 months than did controls in the 0- to 3-year-old age-group (40.0% vs 27.2%; odds ratio [OR], 1.78), 4- to 11-year-old group (38.1% vs 33.7%; OR, 1.23), and 12- to 14-year-old group (46.0% vs 41.3%; OR, 1.21).The most commonly reported symptoms in children 0 to 3 years old were mood swings, rashes, and stomach aches.

Vegan Florida mother convicted of starving toddler to death with strict raw fruits, vegetables diet
Sheila O'Leary is facing life in prison. (Lee County Sheriff's Office) LEE COUNTY, Fla. - A vegan mother is facing life in prison for murdering her 18-month-old child who starved to death on a strict raw fruit and vegetable diet. A Florida jury convicted Sheila O’Leary, 39, on Wednesday of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter, child abuse and two counts of child neglect in the death of her son, Ezra.Ezra weighed 17 pounds – seven pounds below average – when he died in his sleep in 2019.Following Ezra’s death, Sheila and her husband, Ryan, told authorities that the family followed a strict vegan diet limited to "only raw fruits and vegetables" and "breast milk," according to News Press.At the time of Ezra’s death, their three other children – all under the age of 11 – were suffering from malnutrition and dehydration. MORE NEWS: 'She was fighting the shark': Mom of Florida teen attacked by shark describes terrifying ordealO’Leary told detectives that her son did not eat for a week and that he was "having trouble sleeping the night prior to his death."During the Lee County trial on Wednesday, prosecutor Francine Donnorummo, special victims unit chief at the state attorney's office, used O’Leary’s Google searches at the time Ezra’s health declined as evidence against her. Donnorummo emphasized Ezra’s condition was chronic as O’Leary failed to provide her child with food and health care, according to News Press."This was a thought-out, planned course of action," Donnorummo said.
