ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
SARS-CoV-2 infection tends to be lethal to the elderly population. However, sometimes children are also involved. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a female infant with a corrected gestational age of 39 weeks and 4 days with severe COVID-19 pneumonia and co-infection of Klebsiella pneumoniae that was supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).RESULTS:
We reported the clinical case and reviewed the literature articles on ECMO and Covid-19 in infants and children up to two years of age.CONCLUSION:
It is crucial to be aware of certain risk factors (severe prematurity, coinfection), which, when linked to SARS-CoV-2 infection, must immediately alert us to the possible criticality of the clinical condition of patients, as highlighted by our own clinical case.
