Croup is an acute inflammatory condition affecting upper airways and commonly seen in children with younger age group. Croup is most commonly due to acute viral infection and rarely because of bacterial and atypical agents. Here, we report a 3-month-old child who presented to us with classic signs and symptoms of croup and was also positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Child's mother also tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 infection presenting with stridor and croup is very rare and probably represents a new manifestation which should be considered in a young infant presenting with croup.
