Popis: Clinical History: A 7-month-old male infant, otherwise healthy, presented with a 5-day history of fever, seizures, cough and runny nose. Seven days before the presentation, he had contact with a relative who was later confirmed to be SARS-CoV-2 infected. On admission, his body temperature was 39.4ºC. Laboratory studies showed leukocytosis (19.88×109/L; normal range: 6-16×109/L) with a slight increase in neutrophil, lymphocyte and monocyte counts, as well as d-dimer concentration (386μg/L; normal range, 0-230μg/L). The RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 was positive.
