Abstract
We report epidemiological and clinical investigations on ten
pediatric SARS-CoV-2 infection cases confirmed by realtime reverse transcription PCR assay of SARS-CoV-2 RNA.
Symptoms in these cases were nonspecific and no children
required respiratory support or intensive care. Chest X-rays
lacked definite signs of pneumonia, a defining feature of the
infection in adult cases. Notably, eight children persistently
tested positive on rectal swabs even after nasopharyngeal
testing was negative, raising the possibility of fecal–oral
transmission.
