The hypercoagulable state induced by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) affects all patients regardless of age. The incidence of venous thromboembolism in pediatric patients with SARS-CoV-2–related illnesses is not well established. Although deep vein thrombosis is rare in children in the absence of risk factors, coagulopathy and the development of thromboses have been described in pediatric patients with acute COVID-19 and multisystem inflammatory syndrome. This comprehensive review provides a detailed overview of SARS-CoV-2–associated coagulopathy as well as strategies for optimizing the evaluation, management, and prevention of thrombosis in pediatric patients. |
