Abstract
We describe a 12-year-old boy with uncontrolled bronchial asthma,
bronchiolitis obliterans and restrictive and obstructive pulmonary
disorders in spirometry who became infected with COVID-19. Contrary to
the assumptions of other clinical findings, the boy was complaining only
one day about body aches while showing no other symptoms. Neither cough,
dyspnoea nor fever occurred. This case demonstrates that in particular
paediatric patients with pre-existing pulmonary condition such as
uncontrolled bronchial asthma and bronchiolitis obliterans can show an
uncomplicated course of the COVID-19 disease.
