Abstract

Pulmonary infections represent the major causes of morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis(CF). Here, we report a3-month old infant with pancreatic insufficient CF was hospitalized with positive RT-PCRtest for COVID-19. He was treated successfully. Hypertonic saline can be hypothesized as a treatment regimen against COVID-19 infection after further investigation
