description The clinical picture in early infants with COVID-19 has been described in a limited number of reports, mainly from European countries, United States, and China, but not Japan. Although several reports suggested that early infants can develop more severe COVID-19 disease than older children, risk factors for severe illness and differences according to nationality or ethnicity remain unclear. We report a case series of 13 infants ≤90 days old with COVID-19 in Japan. All patients had mild outcomes and did not require respiratory support or intensive care.
