Retrospective 20 pediatric hematological disease patients in China, showing faster viral clearance with paxlovid, but slower resolution of fever.
Confounding by contraindication. [Hoertel] find that over 50% of patients that died had a contraindication for the use of Paxlovid. Retrospective studies that do not exclude contraindicated patients may significantly overestimate efficacy.

Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics of children with
hematological malignancies co-infected with novel coronavirus and explore the
safety and effectiveness of Paxlovid treatment.
Methods: From December 10, 2022, to January 20, 2023, the clinical data of
children with hematological diseases diagnosed with novel coronavirus infection
in the outpatient and emergency department of the Seventh Affiliated Hospital
of Sun Yat-sen University were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: According to whether to give paxlovid or not, it is divided into group A
(paxlovid group) and group B (non-paxlovid group). The length of fever was 1–6
days in group A and 0–3 days in group B. The viral clearance time was shorter
in group A than in group B. The inflammatory indexes CRP and PCT were
significantly higher in group A than in group B (P < 0.05). Twenty patients were
followed up for 1 month after leaving the hospital, and there were 5 cases of
reappearance of fever, 1 case of increased sleep, 1 case of physical fatigue and 1
case of loss of appetite within 2 weeks.
Conclusions: Paxlovid has no apparent adverse reactions in children 12 years old
and younger with underlying hematological diseases infected with the new
coronavirus. Focusing on the interaction between paxlovid and other drugs is
necessary during the treatment.
