Authors' response

We thank Ciprandi et  al1 for their salient points related to our recent article and description of their experiences with Italian patients.2 As they pointed out, children and those with allergy and asthma seem to be at a lower risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and have milder disease.3,4 Recently, however, a severe complication called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, which appears to be associated with COVID-19, has been described in pediatric patients.5 The incidence of this Kawasaki disease–like condition, its causes, and optimal management are still under investigation.
