Abstract

The article presents a review of the literature and a clinical observation of a case of a severe form of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 in an 8-year-old child, which was complicated by a bacterial infection. The relevance of this clinical case is associated with the novelty of the disease itself, the relative rarity of a severe form of a new coronavirus infection in childhood, the complexity of its treatment, and a combination of viral and bacterial inflammation of the lower respiratory tract.
