TONSILS ARE MAJOR SITES OF PROLONGED SARS-COV-2 INFECTION IN CHILDREN

2023-01-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> In the present study, we show that SARS-CoV-2 can infect palatine tonsils and adenoids in children without symptoms of COVID-19, with no history of recent upper airway infection. We studied 48 children undergoing tonsillectomy due to snoring/OSA or recurrent tonsillitis between October 2020 and September 2021. Briefly, nasal cytobrush (NC), nasal wash (NW) and tonsillar tissue fragments obtained...
