VIGIL: Use of PCR-Sars-CoV-2 in Children
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In order to clarify the current management of young sick children in France, whether or not they are cared for in community settings (nursery, schools), paediatricians have proposed an algorithm whose objective is to help define the indications for PCR-Sars-CoV-2 (https://www.infovac.fr/actualites/bulletin-special-mai-2020).
This algorithm, in two parts, can be used, when symptoms are detected in children, to orient and guide :
-
first, parents and community personnel to recognize the signs of infection call signs that should involve medical consultation;
-
but also, the physicians who will carry out this medical evaluation and will have to decide whether or not PCR screening is necessary, in parallel with their diagnostic and therapeutic management, which should not be altered in this particular context
Our main objective is to describe, after the confinement phase, the management of young sick children in the community (crèches, nursery and elementary schools, etc.) or not in order to best define the indications for PCR-Sars-CoV-2

Children < 15 years old Patients under 15 years old who consults a physician on an outpatient basis or in the emergency room and who requires a Sars-CoV-2 RT- PCR (nucleic acid using real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase-chain-reaction) diagnostic |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of children screened with a positive PCR result or a positive Rapid Antigenic Diagnostic (RAD) test [the day of PCR/RAD result]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of PCR-Sars-CoV-2 positive in the sick child in the presence of a Covid contagion in the family environment or not [the day of PCR result]
- Percentage of RAD-Sars-CoV-2 positive in the sick child in the presence of a Covid contagion in the family environment or not [the day of PCR result]
