Abstract
Currently, the researchers from various countries have demonstrated that COVID-19 in children is diagnosed less frequently, and the course and severity of the pathological process is less pronounced than in adults. Children with COVID-19 often have asymptomatic and mild forms. However, the risk of developing severe course of COVID-19 is typical for children from risk groups. Newborns and young children, congenital malformations and concomitant diseases, primarily accompanied by immunodeficiency states of various etiologies (oncological and autoimmune diseases, diabetes mellitus) are the risk factors for the development of severe forms of coronavirus infection. The article presents two clinical cases of COVID-19 in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is shown that children with concomitant oncohematological pathology often have both mild and severe forms of coronavirus infection.
