A RARE CASE OF NOSOCOMAL INFECTION WITH CORONA VIRUS OC43 IN RHIZOMELIC CHONDRODYSPLASIA PUNCTATA TYPE1.

Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata type 1 is an inherited disease with extremely rare presentation. It affects 1 in 100,000 individuals [2]. Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata is associated with significantly delayed development and severe mental retardation. Most children with this condition do not achieve developmental milestones and has growth retardation. RCDP is an autosomal-recessive disease caused by mutations in the PEX7 gene. In this article I presented a a rare case of patient with Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata type 1 admitted with pneumonia then he has been infected by nosocomal infection with corona virus and RSV that necessitate shifting him to PICU. At the end due to the severity of respiratory problems of individuals with Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia it becomes the corona virus more dangerous and aggressive then we needs to special caution and high rate of care from both therapeutic and preventive standpoints.
