In pediatrics, reported coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) cases showed that this category of patients usually presented with no symptoms or mild to moderate COVID-19 disease. However, infants less than one-year-old had a more severe presentation or even critical condition and respiratory failure. Patients with chronic disease and congenital heart disease (CHD) may have serious effects on course of COVID-19 in neonate and early infancy. There is very limited data about confirmed COVID-19 cases with CHD in neonates and early infancy. We report our case with confirmed COVID-19 diagnosed in the neonatal period with multiple ventricular septal defects (VSDs) and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) who presented with respiratory distress and respiratory acidosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
