Previous studies on the pneumonia outbreak caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) were mainly based on information from adult populations. Limited data are available for children with COVID-19, especially for infected infants.
We report a 55-day-old case with COVID-19 confirmed in China and describe the identification, diagnosis, clinical course, and treatment of the patient, including the disease progression from day 7 to day 11 of illness.
This case highlights that children with COVID-19 can also present with multiple organ damage and rapid disease changes.
When managing such infant patients with COVID-19, frequent and careful clinical monitoring is essential.
先前关于 2019 年新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）引起的肺炎爆发的研究主要基于成人人群的信息。关于 COVID-19 的儿童病例，尤其是感染婴儿的病例数据有限。
我们报告了中国一例确诊的 55 日龄 COVID-19 病例，并描述了该患者的识别、诊断、临床病程和治疗情况，包括从发病第 7 天到第 11 天的疾病进展。
该病例提示，COVID-19 患儿也可出现多器官损伤和病情迅速变化。
在管理此类患有 COVID-19 的婴儿患者时，需要频繁和仔细的临床监测。
