Abstract:
COVID-19 infection typically presents with mild symptoms in pediatric patients; however, rare but serious complications can occur, including fatal outcomes. This case report describes the clinical course and autopsy findings of a one-month-old female infant who initially presented with fever and bloody stools and subsequently developed severe coagulopathy and hemorrhage associated with COVID-19. The infant experienced cardiopulmonary arrest and succumbed to irreversible global brain dysfunction despite intensive care. Autopsy revealed significant intramyocardial hemorrhage and fibrinoid degeneration in the coronary arteries and intestinal microvasculature, underscoring the potential for severe vascular complications in infants with COVID-19. These findings highlight the importance of considering systemic involvement and potential coagulopathies in the management of pediatric COVID-19 cases.

The underlying physiological abnormalities that contribute to hypoxemic respiratory failure include:
Acute Respiratory Failure-I
Definition: It is defined by specific criteria based on blood gas measurements. Hypoxemia happens when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) falls below 60 mmHg. At the same time,...
