  ABSTRACT: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a highly contagious infectious disease. First case was reported at the end of 2019 in China. Children and neonate population appears to be relatively free of the virus. We reported a severe and fatal neonate case of COVID-19 in a 22 days old neonate female due to the delta variant strain during the third wave outbreak. She presented with fever, cough, grunting and diarrhea started 5 days before admission. Physical exam’s revealed severe respiratory distress, hypoxia and bilateral pulmonary condensation. PCR test for COVID-19 was positive. Chest X-ray found bilateral infiltrates. Chest CT showed diffuse ground glass images with 75% of lung parenchymal involvement. She was treated with antibiotics, corticostoid, respiratory support (CPAP and oxygen). Death occurred after 15 days of hospitalization in the context of multiple organ failure and pulmonary hypertension.
