Mi Seon Han et al. Clin Infect Dis. .

Abstract

We report changes in viral load over time in a 27-day-old neonate with coronavirus disease 2019 who presented with fever, cough, and vomiting. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 RNA was detected in the nasopharynx, oropharynx, stool, saliva, plasma, and urine. The highest viral RNA copies in nasopharynx decreased over time while viral load in stool remained high.

Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; coronavirus; neonate; viral load.
