White oral lesions in neonate with COVID-19

ABSTRACT

In the hospital nursery, a 4-week-old boy has creamy white patches on his lips, right and left buccal mucosa, palate, and tongue. He had been admitted to the nursery intensive care unit (NICU) 2 days ago. His mother brought him to the pediatric emergency department because he refused to feed and felt warm. Seven days previously, his mother received a diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. He had a sepsis work-up and was started on intravenous (IV) antibiotics.
