Abstract
Presumed respiratory syncytial virus and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 co-infection in a critically ill infant: Diagnostic uncertainty and emergency management.
Highlights
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a global pandemic, with over 10,000,000 cases and 500,000 deaths worldwide by July
Nebulized hypertonic saline was avoided, and deep nasal suctioning was minimized. She was maintained on lowflow oxygen via nasal prongs for all transfers and placed only on non-invasive ventilation with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) through a full-face mask upon arrival in an intensive care airborne infection isolation room (AIIR)
The parents remained with their child, and caution was taken to restrict out-of-room time to a dedicated COVID-19 suspected/confirmed restroom wearing a face mask with strict hand hygiene
