背景COVID-19感染目前在儿童中很罕见。目的探讨新冠肺炎（COVID-19）患儿胸部CT表现。材料与方法我们研究了2019年1月28日至2020年2月8日期间在中国一家大型三级医院接受COVID-19逆转录聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）检测的儿童。我们记录了在纳入儿童中进行的任何胸部CT检查的结果，沿着核心临床观察结果。结果我们纳入了5名儿童，年龄从10个月到6岁（平均3.4岁）。所有人在入院后都至少进行了一次CT扫描。这5例患者中有3例在首次CT扫描时（分别在症状发作后2天、4天和9天）出现CT异常，表现为片状毛玻璃样阴影;治疗期间均恢复正常。结论：与成人报告相比，我们在我们的小型儿科队列中发现了类似但更温和的肺部CT异常。
Background Infection with COVID-19 is currently rare in children. Objective To describe chest CT findings in children with COVID-19. Materials and methods We studied children at a large tertiary-care hospital in China, during the period from 28 January 2019 to 8 February 2020, who had positive reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for COVID-19. We recorded findings at any chest CT performed in the included children, along with core clinical observations. Results We included five children from 10 months to 6 years of age (mean 3.4 years). All had had at least one CT scan after admission. Three of these five had CT abnormality on the first CT scan (at 2 days, 4 days and 9 days, respectively, after onset of symptoms) in the form of patchy ground-glass opacities; all normalised during treatment. Conclusion Compared to reports in adults, we found similar but more modest lung abnormalities at CT in our small paediatric cohort.
