    abstract = "This study aims to describe the clinical characteristics and outcome of 92 infants (aged <12 months) with community-acquired coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) between March, 2020 and June, 2021 at a single center in Athens. Infants with COVID-19 developed mild disease (89, 96.7%), and were infected mostly by their household contacts (74, 80.4%). Disease complications were rare, indicating that hospitalization is the result of low threshold for admission rather than disease severity. © 2022, Indian Academy of Pediatrics."
