This European Journal of Pediatrics scoping review compiles evidence from nine studies identifying 41 biomarker occurrences significantly elevated in children, adolescents, and young adults with long COVID versus controls, signaling organic damage across systems like inflammation (e.g., IL-6, TNF-α), oxidative stress (TOS up, antioxidants down), and immune shifts. It underscores physiological proof of post-SARS-CoV-2 sequelae impairing daily function beyond 3 months per WHO, despite pediatric data gaps, urging research on risk factors, puberty effects, and pathways for diagnosis/treatment. Biomarkers align with fatigue, school issues, and multi-organ involvement, building toward objective tools amid heterogeneous symptoms. Uncover the signs—protect young lives from long COVID's grip!
