High-Sensitivity Troponin and NT-proBNP Concentrations in Febrile Children Without COVID-19 Reflect Disease Severity rather than Fever’s Underlying Cause

In febrile children without COVID-19, high-sensitivity troponin and NT-proBNP concentrations are often elevated, particularly in those with critical illness or multiorgan failure, and seem to reflect disease severity rather than the underlying cause of fever.
