Systematic SARS-CoV-2 screening at hospital admission in children:a French prospective multicenter study.
2020
To assess the relevance of systematic SARS-CoV-2 screening of all children admitted to hospital, we conducted a prospective multicenter study including 438 consecutive hospitalized children. A symptom-based SARS-CoV-2 testing strategy failed to identify 45% (95%CI [24; 68]) of hospitalized children infected by SARS-CoV-2. To limit intra-hospital transmission, a systematic screening of children admitted to hospital should be considered.
