Starting from 2 pediatric cases of COVID-19, with confirmation at nasopharyngeal and rectal swabs, we considered the lesson learnt from previous Coronavirus epidemics and reviewed evidence on the current outbreak. Surveillance with rectal swabs might be extended to infants and children, for the implications for household contacts and isolation timing.
从 2 例经鼻咽和直肠拭子确认的 COVID-19 儿科病例出发,我们借鉴了以往冠状病毒流行的经验教训,并回顾了当前疫情的相关证据。直肠拭子监测可能会扩展到婴儿和儿童,因为这对家庭接触者和隔离时机有影响。
