| Abstract | Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) first emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Then, it spread to the whole world so that THE World Health Organization (WHO) declared a worldwide pandemic on March 11, 2020. Coronavirus disease 2019 is a novel and mysterious infectious disease that causes respiratory illness, multiorgan failure (MOF), and death. Although pediatric COVID-19 accounts for a small percentage of patients and is often milder than in adults, it can progress to severe disease in some cases. Liver involvement in COVID-19 and its severity have not been clearly investigated. In this paper, we present an 11-year-old boy admitted to a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) with COVID-19 diagnosis in combination with elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin. | en |
