The outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019 nCoV) pneumonia in China has attracted great attention worldwide. At present, the reported cases of 2019 nCoV infection in children are very limited. Initially, the susceptibility of children to 2019 nCoV is low, and the severity of the condition is also low. However, children are susceptible to respiratory virus infection, and pediatric medical workers need to pay attention to early identification and warning of 2019 nCoV infection in children, scientific prevention and control, and minimize the harm of 2019 nCoV infection to the pediatric population.
