Abstract
-
Although severe multisystemic manifestations have been defined in adults, there is limited data on the disease burden of COVID-19 in infants and children.
-
We prevent the case of a 15-day-old infant who was born with Tetralogy of Fallot(TOF), and was found to be COVID-19positiveon day 7 of life.
-
Among symptomatic children, 5% have dyspnea or hypoxemia, and 0.6% progress to acute respiratory distress or multi organ dysfunction.
- In the face of this sustained public health crisis, the concomitant occurrence ofSARS-CoV-2 with pediatric congenital heart disease may become more common; guidance on appropriate management of patients is imperative to ensure patient safety.
