The 2019 novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has caused a global outbreak of infection. In general, children with disease-2019 have been reported to show milder symptoms than adult patients. Here, we described case SARS-CoV-2-infected infant who presented our hospital episode an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE). An 8-month-old, otherwise health...

OBJECTIVE To determine in patients who are well-appearing and without a clear etiology after an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE): (1) What historical and physical examination features suggest that a child is at risk for a future adverse event and/or serious underlying diagnosis and would, therefore, benefit from testing or hospitalization? and (2) What testing is indicated on presentation...

diograms were normal. There have been 2 reported cases of infants who experienced an apparent life-threatening event attributed to long QT syndrome, and there is 1 reported case of an infant with Brugada syndrome who experienced an apparent life-threatening event associated with ventricular fibrillation, but his QT interval was normal. Hence, considering the rarity of apparent life-threatening ...

OBJECTIVE To identify potential risk factors for unexpected sudden infant deaths (SID) and severe apparent life-threatening events (S-ALTE) within 24 h of birth. DESIGN Case-control study embedded in an epidemiological survey over a 2-year period. PATIENTS AND METHODS Throughout 2009, every paediatric department in Germany was asked to report cases of unexplained SID or S-ALTE in term infan...

OBJECTIVE The goal was to identify criteria that would allow low-risk infants presenting with an apparent life-threatening event to be discharged safely from the emergency department. METHODS We completed data forms prospectively on all previously healthy patients <12 months of age presenting to the emergency department of an urban tertiary care children's hospital with an apparent life-threa...

OBJECTIVE To detect factors associated with greater risk of death in infants after an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE). METHODS This cross-sectional, retrospective, descriptive and analytic study evaluated infants younger than 12 months who had a sudden event of cyanosis, pallor, hypotonia or apnea and were seen in the emergency department of a tertiary university hospital.
