What we want to find out

With our COVID-19 study in children, adolescents and young adults we aim to better understand the immune response to different viruses including SARS-CoV-2. The following questions guide our research:

How does COVID-19 affectchildren and young adults?
Why do children and young adults generally develop only mild to moderate disease?
Why is it that some children and young adults become seriously ill and what are the risk factors for developing severe disease?

What is it all about

What we ask you for

It is very easy! If you and/or your child would like to participate in our study, we will ask for:

completion of a short questionnaire
a throat swab and a stool sample for virus detection, including SARS-CoV-2
a blood sample

If you would like to participate or if you have any questions, please feel free to talk to any of our hospital staff.
