RESULTS: The infant had life-threatening clinical features including high fever, septic shock, recurrent apnea, petechiae and acute kidney injury and persistent declined CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. In this article, we describe the complete clinical course and follow-up data of a critically ill infant with COVID-19 presenting with life-threatening clinical features including high fever, septic shock, recurrent apnea, petechiae and acute kidney injury. The infant's severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleic acids tests of rectal and nasopharyngeal swabs turned negative on the 38th day and 49th day of illness, respectively. Data of adults also showed that lymphopenia and reduction of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were the clinical features observed in severe COVID-19 patients. ./cache/cord-252400-fdi132vi.txt ./txt/cord-252400-fdi132vi.txt
