Severe cough and retinal hemorrhage in infants and young children

Severe cough and retinal hemorrhage in infants and young children

No retinal hemorrhages were detected in any of 100 consecutive children aged 3 months to 2 years with severe, persistent coughing (0 of 100, 95% CI: 0%- 3%). Therefore, if one finds retinal hemorrhage in infants and young children with cough, child abuse must be excluded.
