چکیده

Introduction: Since the end of December 2019, most countries have been affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. The prevalence of COVID-19 in children has been reported much lower than adults. Most patients have mild symptoms, whereas some cases are asymptomatic. Information on the pediatric clinical manifestations is limited; therefore, reporting specific cases can improve the diagnosis process. Conclusions: These imaging findings are uncommon signs of COVID-19 in pediatrics. The patient was treated with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin and discharged a few days later with good condition.
