For the first time, we report the case of an infant affected by COVID-19 with documented mild cardiac involvement. The chest computed tomograpghy scan was not performed, thus avoiding the exposure to Abbreviations: ACE2, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2; COVID-19, coronavirus disease 2019; SARS-CoV-2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. We suggest that SARS-CoV-2 cardiac involvement should always be taken into account also in children; while our case was mild, it might be of concern especially in patients with other underlying conditions.	./cache/cord-343415-lj2trn85.txt	./txt/cord-343415-lj2trn85.txt
