Abstract: Currently, there are over 1.9 million confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) globally with over 590,000 cases in the United States.1 The number of COVID-19–positive children in the United States is unknown. A report summarizing 72,314 COVID-19 cases from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention noted 416 COVID-19–positive children younger than 10.2 An observational study at Wuhan Children's Hospital noted 31 COVID-19–positive children younger than 1 year with the youngest confirmed case in a 1-day-old.3 Cases were largely characterized by upper respiratory tract infection or pneumonia, fever, cough, and pharyngeal erythema.3 Concomitant neurologic problems have been reported among COVID-19–positive adult patients.4
