Abstract

Introduction. The clinical course of premature infants born to mothers with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has not been well characterized. The aim of this paper was to report a complicated clinical course with pulmonary air leak syndrome (pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax) in a premature infant born to mother with COVID-19. Case outline. The patient was a male infant born at 35 weeks of gestation. The mother had confirmed coronavirus pneumonia 6 days prior to delivery. At approximately 25 hours of age, chest X-ray showed pneumomediastinum, giving the classic ?spinnaker sail? sign. After intubation, chest X-ray showed the typical ?angel wing? sign, which represents pneumomediastinum and bilateral pneumothorax (pulmonary air leak syndrome). Conclusion. Based on the presented case, we believe that the mother's COVID-19 infection is an additional risk factor for the occurrence of pulmonary air leaks in the infant. To confirm this hypothesis as well as explain the exact pathophysiology of air leakage in COVID-19, larger, prospective, and well-designed studies are needed.

冠状病毒感染母亲所生早产儿肺部漏气综合征

介绍。感染2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的母亲所生早产儿的临床过程尚未得到很好的表征。本文的目的是报道1例感染COVID-19的母亲所生的早产儿肺部漏气综合征(纵隔气肿和气胸)的复杂临床过程。大纲。患者是一名妊娠35周出生的男婴。这位母亲在分娩前6天确诊为冠状病毒肺炎。大约25小时时，胸部x光片显示纵膈气，表现为典型的三角帆。的迹象。插管后，胸部x光片显示典型的天使翼。体征，代表纵隔气肿和双侧气胸(肺漏气综合征)。结论。根据本病例，我们认为母亲的COVID-19感染是婴儿肺部漏气发生的另一个危险因素。为了证实这一假设并解释COVID-19中空气泄漏的确切病理生理学，需要更大规模、前瞻性和精心设计的研究。
