We assessed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 seroprevalence on residual blood samples for pediatric COVID-19 surveillance: 2263 samples were collected during routine outpatient visits (<18 years, April 2020-August 2021). Seroprevalence increased over time, coinciding with or preceding virus circulation in the community and with or preceding pediatric severe COVID-19 hospitalization peaks. Residual blood sample seroprevalence may be a useful surveillance tool in future outbreaks.
我们评估了用于儿童新型冠状病毒肺炎监测的残留血样中严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2的血清流行率:在2020年4月至2021年8月的常规门诊就诊期间收集了2263份样本(年龄<18岁)。血清流行率随时间增加,与社区中的病毒传播同时或提前出现,并与儿童严重新型冠状病毒肺炎住院高峰同时或提前出现。残留血样血清流行率可能是未来疫情中的一种有用监测工具。
