Novel coronavirus infection in febrile infants aged 60 days and younger

Abstract

In this case series, we describe the clinical course and outcomes of 7 febrile infants aged #60 days with confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. No infant had severe outcomes, including the need for mechanical ventilation or ICU level of care. Two infants had concurrent urinary tract infections, which were treated with antibiotics. Although a small sample, our data suggest that febrile infants with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection often have mild illness.
