Abstract
A three-month-old infant was referred to the emergency department with fever and a right cervical abscess. Nasopharyngeal swab was positive for SARSCoV- 2 infection. Main causes of infectious abscess and immunodeficiency disorders were ruled out. After a surgical drainage and an antibiotic therapy, clinical conditions of the infant improved, and Staphylococcus Aureus was found in the wound drainage culture. This is a possible, not yet described in infant patients, concurrent clinical manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
