The COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge for all medical personnel in the world. Various studies have been conducted to gain more knowledge about SARS-CoV-2, but studies in the pediatric population are still very limited. We report a case of a boy aged two years and seven months who came to the hospital with an atypical generalized seizure for less than 5 minutes and immediately regained consciousness after the seizure. Other symptoms included fever, productive cough, rhinorrhea, and shortness of breath. The X-ray showed a well-defined homogeneous consolidation in the upper right lobe and a small spot in both lungs which consistently showed top right lobar pneumonia and bronchopneumonia. From the SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test, positive results were obtained on the third day of hospitalization. The patient received antiseizure therapy, antibiotics, and other supportive therapies by Indonesian Pediatrician Association (IDAI) guidelines. During treatment, the patient responded well to the treatment given, with no other seizure episodes. A negative result on the SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test was obtained after twelve days of hospitalization as well as improvements of the lungs as seen from the X-ray.

BACKGROUND: Pneumopericardium (PPC) is one of the rarest pulmonary air leak syndromes, but the incidence is the highest in the neonatal period. Risk factors include premature infants with respiratory distress (RD) syndrome, receiving active resuscitation, meconium aspiration syndrome, and aggressive mechanical ventilation. Several cases have also been reported related to COVID-19. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a female newborn with a birth weight of 3300 grams a COVID-19 confirmed 35-year-old G3P2A0 mother. The baby was not crying at born and the amniotic fluid was stained green. The baby experienced RD and was intubated. A babygram was performed at the age of 5 h with the impression of a too deep endotracheal tube, neonatal pneumonia, and PPC. COVID-19 RT-PCR examination of the baby was positive. There were no signs of cardiac tamponade, so it was decided to take conservative and supportive management. CONCLUSION: Resolution of PPC was found on repeated babygram 26 h later. The baby was then discharged after 19 days of treatment.
