First seen May 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at 180 infants who had COVID-19 around the time of birth to see if the infection affects a brief hormone surge called minipuberty, which is important for development. Researchers will measure hormone levels and track growth and behavior over time. The goal is to understand if COVID-19 can cause long-term health issues through this pathway.
