    • Abstract:
      The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic brought about several challenges for pediatric patients that were considerably different than those for adult patients. While adult patients had severe illness with associated respiratory and multiorgan failure and subsequent death, pediatric patients typically had milder disease. There were increases in postinfection complications, including an increased incidence of new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) following COVID-19 infection, particularly in adolescent patients. Currently, there is increasing concern that COVID-19 infection may be contributing to the development of T1D. This review will provide an overview of COVID-19, T1D, and the increased incidence noted during the pandemic, and the proposed mechanism of development of T1D in this specific patient demographic. Future studies will be needed to understand the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on T1D in children and adolescents. [ Pediatr Ann . 2024;53(7):e244-e248.] .
