Popis: Introduction. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) frequently leads to asymptomatic or mild infectious disease evolution in children. Case presentation. We present the case of a 3 year old girl, known with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in chemotherapy treatment at that time. She had an asymptomatic form of COVID-19 but with important paraclinical changes. The evolution was favorable under the treatment initiated with antibiotics, corticotherapy, gastric protector and symptomatic treatment if necessary. Conclusion. Management of children with COVID-19 and other comorbidities remains a challenge given the few data currently in the literature
