Introduction: Data of COVID-19 in newborns and children are limited, and clinical manifestations are nonspecific and might delay the diagnosis, which might lead to severe complications. In this clinical case, we will describe new-onset diabetes with consciousness impairment as an atypical revealing way of COVID-19.
Case: A 3-year-old child presented to the Emergency Department with loss of consciousness (without fever), lethargy, and stupor.
