Abstract: (1939 Views)
Background and Objective: COVID-19 is a new respiratory infection caused by the Coronavirus, which the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global pandemic in 2019. The clinical course of the infection in children differs from adults. With a variety of presentations, COVID-19 poses a great diagnostic challenge for physicians. Here, we present a child with COVID-19, who presented with fever and periorbital edema.
Case Report: A 3-year-old boy came into the hospital with periorbital edema and fever. He had no respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms, his laboratory tests revealed only hypoalbuminemia and he had no prior history of any other diseases. His nasopharyngeal swab PCR came back positive for Covid-19.
Conclusion: Fever and periorbital edema are rare manifestations of COVID-19 in infected children, further medical research is required to find the cause of this problem. Finding the scientific explanation for this complication can lead to better insight for diagnosis and even reveal possible effective treatments.
