A lethargic child with COVID-19 infection.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT COVID-19 infection in children is less understood than COVID-19 infection in adults, and although it is believed to cause mild or asymptomatic infections, several cases of severe or atypical presentations have been reported. Children presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms, even those without respiratory symptoms, should raise the suspicion for possible COVID-19 infection. This case report describes a 20-month-old girl with a clear history of COVID-19 exposure whose acute abdomen and lethargy were diagnosed as COVID-19 infection complicated by intussusception.
