Abstract

An integrative review of studies recently published between January 1st and April 24th of 2020 was carried out, using the keywords: 2019-nCOV; COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2 and pediatrics. The PubMed, Períodicos CAPES, Science Direct, Scielo, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde and Lilacs databases were searched. A total of 10 articles were considered eligible. Among the main therapeutic classes cited were antivirals lopinavir/ritonavir, oseltamivir, the use of interferon and immunoglobulins. Almost all the treatments mentioned were considered to be potentially effective against COVID-19, however clinical trials are necessary for such confirmation since there are few studies and the use of the mentioned drugs is based on the treatment of other respiratory diseases.
