Partial seizure due to COVID19 infection in an infant

Abstract

We live at the time of the coronavirus pandemic in the world (1, 2). The symptoms of COVID19 are similar in children and adults. However, children with confirmed COVID19 have generally shown mild symptoms (3). The symptoms in children include cold-like symptoms, such as fever, runny nose, and cough, vomiting, and diarrhea. In this study, we describe an eight-month-old boy with recurrent partial seizure and mild diarrhea. It was later revealed that he was COVID19 positive. © 2020, Iranian Child Neurology Society.
