Seventeen-day-old baby girl recovers from coronavirus without medication after being born to a confirmed patient

• The baby is the youngest patient to have recovered from the virus in China

• She was allowed to go home on Friday after making a full recovery by herself

• Doctors didn't give her antibiotic medication because her condition was minor

• Experts suspect the virus could be passed from mothers to babies in the womb

A 17-day-old baby has recovered from the novel coronavirus after being born to a confirmed patient in Wuhan.

The newborn is the youngest patient to have recovered from the virus in China so far, reported state media.

She left the hospital on Friday after making a full recovery on her own without the help of medication.

The baby was transferred to Wuhan Children's Hospital on the same day she was born, according to People's Daily. She was found to have the virus shortly after.

The girl, known as Xiao Xiao, had an infection in her respiratory system and minor myocardial damage, said Dr Zeng Lingkong, director of the Department of Neonatology at the hospital.

Because the girl's symptoms were not obvious, doctors decided not to give her antibiotic medication and let her overcome the disease on her own.

'She did not have obvious difficulties in breathing, did not cough or have fevers, therefore we only gave her treatment for her myocardial condition,' Dr Zeng told state broadcaster for CCTV.
