Abstract :
We live at the time of the coronavirus pandemic in the world (1, 2). The
symptoms of COVID19 are similar in children and adults. However,
children with confirmed COVID19 have generally shown mild
symptoms (3). The symptoms in children include cold-like symptoms,
such as fever, runny nose, and cough, vomiting, and diarrhea. In this
study, we describe an eight-month-old boy with recurrent partial
seizure and mild diarrhea. It was later revealed that he was COVID19
positive.
