in which 20 of 30 patients tested positive of SARS-CoV-2. 6 Neonates and infants with COVID-19 in that cohort had mild symptoms. 6 In addition, the present analysis found that the proportion of concomitant SBIs among young infants with SARS-CoV-2 infection was similar to the proportion of bacterial coinfection with other respiratory viruses before the pandemic.A limitation of this study is that tests were infrequently performed for respiratory viruses other than SARS-CoV-2 during the pandemic because reagents were in critical shortage. Also, this was a single-center study at an urban tertiary pediatric ED in a city with a high prevalence of COVID-19.
This cohort study assesses the prevalence of urinary tract infections (UTIs), bacteremia, and bacterial meningitis among infants systematically tested for SARS-CoV-2 and non–SARS-CoV-2 viruses, with a focus on invasive bacterial infections.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
