COVID-19 infection affects any age and gender. Among the pediatric population, the most vulnerable are children up to 3-5 years old. Infants are especially affected, they present the most complications following post-COVID19 lung damage. The article presents the case of an infant who suffered severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. With the help of high-precision imaging investigations, such as Computed Tomography, it was possible to detect the bronchopulmonary changes that occurred after enduring the infection.
