Pulmonary infections represent the major causes of morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF). Here, we report a 3-month-old infant with pancreatic insufficient CF was hospitalized with positive RT-PCR test for COVID-19. He was treated successfully. Hypertonic saline can be hypothesized as a treatment regimen against COVID-19 infection after further investigations.
