Bicytopenia revealing SARS-Cov-2 pneumonia in a 4 month old infant: A case report.

Unlabelled: Background.

Introduction: Only a few cases of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia in infants have been reported, and the epidemiological, clinical presentation and the course of these patients are not yet fully understood.

Clinical Presentation: we report the case of a 4-month-old infant admitted to the intensive care unit for the management of a hemorrhagic syndrome which turned out to be Sars cov 2 pneumonia.

Discussion: While research into the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing, it appears that young children are less likely to be infected with SARS-CoV-2 and their infection is less severe.

Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia would be less frequent and less serious in infants, but this should not make us omit this diagnosis in the face of acute respiratory distress, especially if there is an underlying family cluster.
