Abstract 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.
