This article reports the diagnosis and treatment of two children with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and hypertension. Case 1 was a boy aged 13 years and 3 months, with the main manifestations of fever and dry cough; chest CT showed ground-glass opacities, and the nucleic acid test of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) yielded a positive result. Case 2 was a boy aged 13 years and 8 months and had no clinical symptoms; chest CT showed no abnormality, while the nucleic acid test of SARS-CoV-2 yielded a positive result. Both cases were shown with family aggregation of SARS-CoV-2 infection. They had obesity and a family history of hypertension. Continuous blood pressure monitoring in the resting state during hospitalization showed that blood pressure was above the 95% reference interval of normal value for children of the same age, and the two boys were given calcium channel blockers or β-receptor blockers and were then recovered. It is concluded that comprehensive management of children with COVID-19 and underlying cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, should be taken seriously during the epidemic.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical features and diagnostic methods of mycoplasma pneumonia complicated with cerebral infarction.

METHODData of 3 children with mycoplasma pneumonia who developed cerebral infarction, including clinical manifestations and imaging were collected, analyzed and the literature was reviewed.

RESULTAll the cases were pre-school or school-aged children, who developed the respiratory infection initially, the neurological symptoms were acute hemiparesis, with or without convulsion. The IgM antibody to Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mp) was positive. Pulmonary imaging showed unilateral consolidation with atelectasis and pleural exudate. Neuroimaging showed occlusion of middle cerebral artery and infarction of its territory. After giving azithromycin, anti-coagulative and thrombolytic treatments, the neurological deficits recovered to some extent.

CONCLUSIONMycoplasma pneumonia were diagnosed based on respiratory symptoms and pulmonary imaging, the accompanied cerebral infarction was confirmed by neurological and neuroimaging findings.
