Abstract

Introduction: New Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused serious health problems worldwide. The disease first started in Wuhan, China, and then resulted in thousands of deaths throughout the world. Case Presentation: According to data from involved patients, children and neonates include a small proportion of patients with COVID-19. However, in some cases, hospitalization and even death still may occur. In this case report, we described mortality associated with COVID-19 in two pediatrics from Qom city, Iran. One of them presented with severe symptoms that needed high-flow ventilation and admission to the ICU. Conclusions: The findings of this report confirm that COVID-19 may cause death in pediatrics, like in adults. Timely diagnosis, precise evaluation of clinical symptoms, and effective treatment of COVID-19-infected children can play an important role in reducing mortality rates.
