A girl barely 49 days old was able to survive after a complicated surgical intervention never before performed in Cuba, and she is recovering satisfactorily, according to official media on the island.<\/span><\/p>\n

The event recently occurred at the Jos\u00e9 Luis Miranda Children\u2019s Hospital, in the capital city of the central province of <\/span>Villa Clara<\/span><\/a>, where Lisyanet Marrero P\u00e9rez took her daughter Annalie Torna Marrero with suspected COVID-19 infection.<\/span><\/p>\n

The baby, however, was diagnosed with a teratoma that compressed vital structures such as the heart, the respiratory tract and the large blood vessels located in the center of the chest, according to <\/span>a report published<\/span><\/a> on the Cubadebate website.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the media, the baby\u2019s grandfather had been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and the baby had a mild cold, so the family decided to verify a possible contagion.<\/span><\/p>\n
