Abstract

The pandemic of COVID-19 raises new challenges in the management of pediatric asthma. We analyzed airway injury in children with asthma from molecular mechanism to pathological alterations and explored the effect of SARS-CoV-2 on pulmonary function, which will inform clinicians in the diagnosis and management of childhood asthma in the context of the new coronavirus epidemic.
