A male infant with COVID-19 in the context of ARPC1B Deficiency
The current pandemic of the novel SARS‐CoV‐2 infection has affected over 10 million humans around the planet. The clinical manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) are diverse, ranging from asymptomatic or mild flu‐like symptoms to atypical pneumonia, severe respiratory distress syndrome, systemic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and coagulopathy. Here, we describe a male infant patient with known ARPC1B deficiency, who was hospitalized for COVID‐19 pneumonia and improved without requiring intensive care or mechanical ventilation. Informed consent through protocols approved by the institutional review boards of the National Institute of Pediatrics was obtained from the patient’s family.
