Study Summary

This study aims to investigate if receiving doses of arginine (a protein in the body) will improve mitochondria function in children with COVID-19. The study will be performed at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Arthur M. Blank Hospital. Patients will be randomized to receive one of three doses of arginine three times a day for five days or at discharge whichever comes first.

Primary Outcome

Complex-IV activity changes will be measured to estimate mitochondrial function before and after administration for L-arginine
