However, during the current COVID-19 pandemic, this procedure has usually been deferred in those with suspected or known diagnosis of COVID-19, given the risk of aerosolization and subsequent transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to healthcare personnel. We report the case of an immunosuppressed teenager with persistent fever and progressive respiratory symptoms after an initial diagnosis of COVID-19 in whom the need of FB+BAL represented a clinical dilemma. Description: A 14-year-old female on treatment for relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia was diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in a nasal sample after having a positive household contact. Her symptoms were initially mild until she developed fever, cough, and dyspnea ∼2 weeks after diagnosis. Her laboratory evaluation was notable for lymphopenia and her chest CT revealed extensive lower lobe consolidations with scattered ground-glass opacities (Figure A), prompting hospitalization. Despite broad-spectrum antibiotics, her respiratory status worsened and she eventually required high-flow nasal cannula support. Pediatric pulmonology was consulted for consideration of FB+BAL to rule out opportunistic infections. Her repeat SARSCoV-2 PCR nasal test at that time, done ∼3 weeks after her initial diagnosis, was inconclusive. Because of this, as well as her tenuous respiratory status, it was decided not to proceed with FB+BAL. She then received steroids, remdesivir, and immunoglobulin, with gradual resolution of her hypoxemia. She was subsequently discharged home. Unfortunately, her fever and dyspnea returned ∼1 week after, prompting re-admission. Her repeat SARS-CoV-2 PCR nasal test was positive and her chest CT demonstrated shifting consolidative and ground-glass opacities, now more predominant in the upper and mid-lung fields (Figure B). We then proceeded with FB+BAL, which was unremarkable. Evaluations for a broad range of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens were negative, except for positive SARS-CoV-2 by PCR from BAL fluid. Her symptoms slowly improved with supportive treatment, so she was again discharged home. Her SARS-CoV-2 PCR nasal testing ∼2 months after initial diagnosis continued to be positive. Discussion: There is limited evidence regarding the safety and utility of FB+BAL in those with suspected or diagnosed COVID-19, particularly in the pediatric population. This case highlights an immunosuppressed child with prolonged viral shedding and emphasizes that in certain clinical situations FB+BAL may be required for further microbiologic data, especially when illness is protracted, the differential diagnosis is broad, and imaging findings are non-specific for COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":403993,"journal":{"name":"TP76.

We aimed to determine how COVID-19 pandemic affected pediatric FB implementation. Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent FB from March 11, 2015 to September 11, 2020 were examined retrospectively. Records of post-COVID-19 period (March 11, 2020 to September 11, 2020) were compared with records of pre-COVID-19 (consists of each six-month time window from March 11 to September 11 of each year from 2015 to 2019) period in terms of hospitalization status of the patients, with numbers and indications of FB. Some additional measures were taken during FB procedure in post-COVID-19 period. Number of health workers infected during FB procedures in post-COVID-19 period was reviewed. Results: Of total 182 procedures, the least FB was performed in post-COVID-19 period (34, 30, 36, 36, 25 and 21 procedures respectively from 2015 to 2020). Ninetythree (51.1%) patients were male. The median age of the patients was 48 months (range, 1-204 months). Eighty-two (45.0%) patients had chronic diseases. While 62 (34.2%) patients were hospitalized for another reason before FB, 120 (65.9%) patients were outpatient who applied for FB. Three most common indications for FB were atelectasis (n=39, 21.4%), chronic cough (n=32, 17.5%) and stridor (n=27, 14.8 %). While microbiological sampling with bronchoalveolar lavage was the most common indication in post-COVID-19 period, atelectasis was leading in pre-COVID-19 period (p<0.001). In post-COVID-19 period most of the patients were inpatients while outpatient predominance was determined in pre-COVID-19 period (p<0.001) (Table 1). None of the health workers was infected during FB procedure. Conclusion: Postponing elective FB procedures decreased the numbers and affected the indications of procedures in our center during COVID-19 era. Taking additional measures are of great importance and effective to prevent transmission of infection during FB.","PeriodicalId":403993,"journal":{"name":"TP76.
