Clinical and epidemiological significance of diarrhea in children with COVID-19
Objective. To show the clinical and epidemiological significance of diarrhea and SARS-CoV-2 excretion in the feces of COVID-19 patients in children. Patients and methods. 42 case histories of children with COVID-19 hospitalized and examined by PCR for SARS-CoV-2 RNA in nasal and oropharyngeal swabs, as well as in feces were ana-lyzed. Design: retrospective analysis of patient medical records. Results. It was shown that watery diarrhea was observed in 2.4% of children with verified COVID-19, vomiting and abdominal pain – in 4.8%. In the blood test, lymphocytosis prevailed. In all the examined patients, SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected not only in nasal and oropharyngeal swabs, but also in feces, while in 4.8% of children, the virus was excreted in feces for a longer time than in the respiratory tract. In the epidemiological history of 100% of patients, there was no indication of contact with a patient with acute diarrhea. Conclusion. These facts indicate that, despite the infrequently registered diarrhea in COVID-19 in childhood, the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the feces of a significant number of such patients may have important clinical and epidemiological significance, contributing to the fecaloral transmission of this infection, which requires additional study due to the small number and incon-sistency of currently known data.
