International Journal for Case Reports

The first case study of an infant with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who also was diagnosed and treated for classic Kawasaki disease (KD) highlights the growing need to understand the clinical presentation patterns of the disease. “Despite the growing number of reported cases there remains a knowledge gap regarding the infectious, epidemiologic and clinical features associated with COVID-19 illness, particularly in the pediatric population,” wrote the authors of the case study published in Hospital Pediatrics. Signs and symptoms of COVID-19 in children can range from asymptomatic to acute upper respiratory tract infection as well as gastrointestinal symptoms, respiratory failure, shock, coagulation dysfunction and renal injury in severe cases.
