If infants are infected with the coronavirus “Sars-CoV-2” and become ill with “Covid-19”, they usually suffer from fever. This symptom applies particularly to children under the age of three months. This emerges from a new study that originated in the USA. The “Health Portal of German Pharmacists” and the German medical journal.
In it, the scientists at the children’s hospital “Ann & Robert H. Lurie” in Chicago examined infants who were all under 90 days old for “Covid-19”. 18 children showed a positive corona test result. It is of central importance for the scientific result that no infant had a previous illness.
Coronavirus infection: Babies often only have a fever
The result: 14 children showed fever as a symptom. Two children had a cough. In contrast, one toddler had problems with food intake.
