The first reinfection in the world in Hong Kong, later in Europe (Holland, Belgium) and USA, was documented. In Mexico until November 2020 there are no medical articles that tell us about reinfection; in Celaya Guanajuato the case of a female patient presented with symptoms of COVID-19, 2 polymerase chain reaction in real time tests are performed, in the Laboratory of Public Health from Guanajuato State in an interval of time, less than 5 months; the first in June 2020, with a positive result, received symptomatic treatment and isolation at home for 14 days, negative IgG antibodies test 38 days later; the second time, she presented clinical data on COVID-19 in November From 2020. It was not find references about re-infections by SARS-CoV-2 in Mexico; in Celaya Guanajuato was presented the case of female patient who has symptoms of COVID-19, with new positive PCR, required hospitalization and high-flow oxygen therapy when presenting with pneumonia, was performed simple chest Computing tomography, IgG and IgM antibodies.The evolution was good with discharge from hospitalization 72 hours after admission, continuing his outpatient management until discharge.

Purpose Infants hospitalized for an acute respiratory illness often require the use of noninvasive respiratory support during the initial stage to improve their breathing. High flow oxygen therapy (HFOT) is becoming a more popular means of noninvasive respiratory support, often used to treat respiratory syncytial virus/bronchiolitis. These infants present with tachypnea and coughing, resulting in difficulties in coordinating sucking and swallowing. However, they are often allowed to feed orally despite having high respiratory rate, increased work of breathing and on HFOT, placing them at risk for aspiration. Feeding therapists who work with these infants have raised concerns that HFOT creates an additional risk factor for swallowing dysfunction, especially with infants who have compromised airways or other comorbidities. There is emerging literature concluding changes in pharyngeal pressures with HFOT, as well as aspiration in preterm neonates who are on nasal continuous positive airway pressure. However, there is no existing research exploring the effect of HFOT on swallowing in infants with acute respiratory illness. This discussion will present findings from literature on HFOT, oral feeding in the acutely ill infant population, and present clinical practice guidelines for safe feeding during critical care admission for acute respiratory illness. Conclusion Guidelines for safety of oral feeds for infants with acute respiratory illness on HFOT do not exist. However, providers and parents continue to want to provide oral feeds despite clinical signs of respiratory distress and coughing. To address this challenge, we initiated a process change to use clinical bedside evaluation and a “cross-systems approach” to provide recommendations for safer oral feeds while on HFOT as the infant is recovering from illness. Use of standardized feeding evaluation and protocol have improved consistency of practice within our department. However, further research is still necessary to develop clinical practice guidelines for safe oral feeding for infants on HFOT.
