“Coronavirus disease 2019 in a 2-month-old male infant: A case report from Iran,” published in Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics in December 2020, has been retracted from publication.
The authors violated the journal’s publication ethics policy by falsifying IRB approval.
The ethical ID submitted by the authors is not relevant to this case report, and no valid ethical ID was subsequently provided.
Therefore, the CEP ethics committee has decided to retract this paper from the journal. We apologize to readers and assure them that we aim to thoroughly screen for ethics violations prior to publishing papers in Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics.
