Clinical course and seroprevalence of COVID-19 in children with rheumatic diseases—cross-sectional study from a reference centre in Spain
Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infections in children are frequently asymptomatic or mild and can go unnoticed. This study aimed to describe the seroprevalence and clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 in a cohort of children with rheumatic diseases in a real-life setting and assess possible risk factors. A cross-sectional study was performed in a paediatric rheumatology unit (September 2020 to February 2021). At inclusion, a specific questionnaire was completed and SARS-CoV-2 serology was performed. Demographics, treatment and disease activity of patients with and without laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were compared. A total of 105 children were included. SARS-CoV-2 infection was demonstrated in 27 patients (25.7%). The mean age was 11.8 years, and most patients were females (72.4%). The most frequent underlying condition was juvenile idiopathic arthritis (70.3%; 19/27). Patients received immunosuppressive treatment in 78% of cases (21/27). Overall, 44.4% (12/27) of infected patients were asymptomatic. A total of 66.7% (18/27) of patients did not require medical assistance. Three patients required hospital admission because of COVID-19. Children with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were less frequently in remission (52% vs 72%; p 0.014). Moderate disease activity and treatment with oral corticosteroids were associated with higher risk for SARS-CoV-2 (OR 5.05; CI 95%: 1.56–16.3 and OR 4.2; CI 95%: 1.26–13.9, respectively). In a cohort of Spanish paediatric patients with rheumatic diseases, clinical course of COVID-19 was mild, with more than one third of asymptomatic cases. Higher disease activity and oral corticosteroids appear to be risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection.Key Points• We aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a cohort of Spanish paediatric patients with RD, testing both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. We also compared treatment and disease activity of patients with and without laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection.• In our cohort of 105 paediatric patients with rheumatic diseases, the clinical course of COVID-19 was mild and 44% of cases were asymptomatic. Three cases required hospital admission with no complications. Seroprevalence was 20%.• No association was found between disease activity or treatment with corticosteroids and symptomatic or asymptomatic infection. Higher disease activity and treatment with oral corticosteroids appeared to be risk factors for laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection..
