We describe the clinical course of 4 infants infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. All were admitted to our tertiary care neonatal intensive care unit during the Omicron variant wave in our region. All 4 infants, who were less than 3 months of age, including three born prematurely, presented with critical illness. However, their clinical presentation varied considerably. Of them, two infants presented with apnea, one with respiratory distress, and one with gastrointestinal manifestation. Our experience with these four infants provides evidence for a severe form of disease and varied clinical presentation in neonates and young infants speculated to be infected with Omicron variant.
我们描述了4例感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2的婴儿的临床病程。在我们地区的奥密克戎变异株流行期间，所有婴儿均被收治于我们的三级医疗新生儿重症监护病房。这4例年龄均小于3个月的婴儿，其中3例为早产儿，均表现为危重症。然而，他们的临床表现差异很大。其中，2例婴儿出现呼吸暂停，1例出现呼吸窘迫，1例出现胃肠道表现。我们对这4例婴儿的经验为推测感染奥密克戎变异株的新生儿和小婴儿中存在严重疾病形式及多样临床表现提供了证据。
