Coronavirus infection (COVID-19): clinical case of a severe disease in a newborn

The article presents a single clinical case of a severe coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in a newborn. Clinical and laboratory examination and treatment of the patient were carried out in accordance with the guidelines for the treatment of coronavirus infection in children. On the third day of hospitalization neonatal death occurred due to the development of multiple organ failure despite the medical therapy. An autopsy revealed diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) of the type of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) accompanied by bilateral polysegmental pneumonia and systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
