We report the case of a two-year-old child who presented to our pediatric intensive care unit with febrile status epilepticus and was diagnosed to have COVID-19 infection. The emerging literature suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 infection can affect children, including all age groups, predominantly males, and cause milder disease compared to adult patients [2, 3] . We report the case of a two-year-old child who presented to our pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with febrile status epilepticus and was diagnosed to have COVID-19 infection. A retrospective study from China reported that common neurological symptoms in adult patients with COVID-19 include headache, dizziness, and rarely seizures [12] . Our index case illustrates that SARS-CoV-2 associated COVID-19 can present with febrile seizure and febrile status epilepticus in children.	./cache/cord-255752-ofph98ac.txt	./txt/cord-255752-ofph98ac.txt
