A Well Infant With Coronavirus Disease 2019 With High Viral Load.
Clin Infect Dis. 2020 07 28; 71(15):847-849.CI

Abstract

A well 6-month-old infant with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had persistently positive nasopharyngeal swabs up to day 16 of admission. This case highlights the difficulties in establishing the true incidence of COVID-19, as asymptomatic individuals can excrete the virus. These patients may play important roles in human-to-human transmission in the community.
