Abstract

The incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pediatric population is less than 7% that too when associated with a urinary tract infection, the presentation is very rare. There have been numerous case reports in adults and adolescent population but very few in pediatrics and none in our socioeconomic. We present here the case of a 1-year-old boy with SARS-CoV-2 induced urinary tract infection whose urine biochemistry showed severe urinary tract infection but no hematuria. His COVID-PCR was positive. His chest radiograph showed bilateral lung infiltrates with peri-hilar lymphadenopathy. His computerized tomography scan showed infiltrates with lung fibrosis. He was admitted to the isolation ward, successfully managed, and discharged home after 5 days of in-hospital treatment. Pediatricians and pediatric emergency physicians should be vigilant and well aware of the atypical presentation of SARS-CoV-2 infection in infants and children, as they can present with both gastrointestinal and renal manifestations. And once missed, the patient may end up with devastating complications.

SARS-CoV-2 诱发的婴儿尿路感染：一个罕见病例

SARS-CoV-2 感染在儿科人群中的发病率不到 7%，如果伴有尿路感染，这种病例也非常罕见。成人和青少年中的病例报告很多，但儿科病例报告很少，在我们的社会经济环境中也没有病例报告。我们在此介绍一例因 SARS-CoV-2 引起尿路感染的 1 岁男孩，其尿液生化检查显示有严重的尿路感染，但无血尿。他的 COVID-PCR 呈阳性。胸片显示双侧肺部浸润，肝周淋巴结肿大。他的计算机断层扫描显示肺部纤维化浸润。他被送入隔离病房，经过成功治疗，并在住院治疗 5 天后出院回家。儿科医生和儿科急诊医生应提高警惕，充分认识到婴幼儿感染 SARS-CoV-2 的不典型表现，因为他们可能同时出现胃肠道和肾脏表现。一旦漏诊，患者可能会出现严重的并发症。
