We therefore report on a 4-month-old Hispanic male with a moderate sized conoventricular ventricular septal defect and pulmonary overcirculation who presented with COVID-19-associated pneumonia. 6 Children with haemodynamically significant congenital heart disease are at an increased risk of decompensation and hospitalisation when concomitantly infected with other respiratory viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus and influenza, [12] [13] [14] lending credence to the notion that COVID-19 could run a more severe course in these children. Given the probable paucity of these patients at any single paediatric centre, there is a dire need for collaborative research efforts on a global scale to characterise the clinical features and outcomes of COVID-19 in children with haemodynamically significant congenital heart disease as well as other vulnerable paediatric populations.	./cache/cord-351718-sf5zp5wg.txt	./txt/cord-351718-sf5zp5wg.txt
