    AbstractAlthough SARS-CoV-2 infects individuals of all ages, children show less severe symptoms. Nevertheless, the very rare COVID-19 severe cases in paediatrics require our full attention. Much research has been conducted and is still ongoing on effective treatments. On the antiviral front, no molecule has been proven effective yet and the results of several studies on the benefit of monoclonal antibodies and convalescent plasma are pending. On the side of immunomodulators, the benefit of steroids has been demonstrated for patients severely ill. Other molecules are being investigated. However, all these studies focused on adults and paediatric data are warranted.
