Our study describes more than 100 children hospitalized with pneumonia during lockdown in the first pandemic wave with only 20% attributable to SARS-CoV-2. The serologic study during follow-up only helped to detect 4%. Other etiologies were common. Older age, presence of headache, vomiting, lymphopenia and thrombopenia were associated with COVID-19 pneumonia.
