We present a child with a new-onset isolated afebrile seizure in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This patient, an 11-year-old Hispanic male, was brought to our ED in New York city on May 01, 2020, during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis with seizure. There was no fever and/or respiratory and gastrointestinal complaints. His general and systemic examination did not reveal any abnormality. Similarly, his biochemical profiles were within normal limits, and the radiological study, including a chest X-ray and CT scan, showed normal findings. His polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was positive for SARS-CoV2. The patient was admitted for observation after consultation with pediatric neurology, and his condition progressively improved with anti-seizure medications. This case highlights the need for recognizing an uncommon and atypical presentation in COVID-19 as the new cases are unfolding rapidly across the globe.
我们报告了一名患有新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）新发孤立性无热惊厥的儿童。该患者为一名11岁的西班牙裔男性，于2020年5月1日在纽约市的新冠疫情期间因惊厥被送至我们的急诊科。他没有发热和/或呼吸及胃肠道不适症状。其全身及系统检查未发现任何异常。同样，他的生化指标在正常范围内，包括胸部X光和CT扫描在内的影像学检查结果也正常。他的聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测显示SARS-CoV2呈阳性。经儿科神经科会诊后，该患者入院观察，在使用抗惊厥药物后病情逐渐好转。随着全球新病例迅速增加，该病例凸显了识别COVID-19中不常见和非典型表现的必要性。
