ABSTRACT
Remdesivir possesses in vitro inhibitory effect against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and the Middle East respiratory syndrome. It works by inhibiting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that is essential for viral replication. Remdesivir is approved by Food and Drug Administration for treating COVID-19 in hospitalized adult and pediatric patients aged 28 days and more and weighing 3 kg and more. This case series is describing two cases of low-weight, premature, and renally impaired infants where Remdesivir is used in Sheikh Khalifa Medical City pediatric intensive care unit. Upon completion of the Remdesivir course of treatment, there were no Remdesivir-related adverse outcomes noted in the two cases. Remdesivir was tolerated by both patients. However, clinical improvement and measurement of safety and efficacy will require further randomized, placebo-controlled trials.
