Abstract

This letter is meant to inform the community of pediatricians/pediatric intensivists that we suspect SARS-CoV-2 to cause life-threatening bronchiolitis in infants and we therefore suggest maintaining a high level of suspicion of COVID-19, irrespective of an initially negative SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR testing, when other causes of bronchiolitis are unidentifiable in young children.
