Few children have been reported to have been affected by novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); it is unclear whether children are less likely to be infected or rather display fewer symptoms. We present the case of a 32-day-old boy infected by COVID-19 that presented with an upper air way infection which resolved spontaneously and did not require any therapy. We argue that in epidemic settings children presenting with any mild symptom potentially attributable to COVID-19 should be considered contagious until proven otherwise, and that management must be guided by clinical conditions.
据报道,很少有儿童受到 2019 年新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的影响;目前尚不清楚儿童是否更不容易感染,还是表现出的症状更少。我们报告了一例由 COVID-19 感染的 32 天大的男婴,他患有上呼吸道感染,该感染自行消退,无需任何治疗。我们认为,在流行地区,任何可能归因于 COVID-19 的轻度症状的儿童都应被视为具有传染性,直到有其他证据证明,且必须根据临床状况进行管理。
