Résumé
Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, studies reported an increase in children's mental health issues and questioned the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on psychiatric symptoms. We compared COVID seroconversion in children hospitalized with acute, severe psychiatric symptoms (n = 52) with the sex- and age-matched control group (n = 52) living in the same low-income geographic area and sampled during the same time period. Contrary to our hypothesis, we observed less seroconverted children with psychiatric conditions 9.61% (95% CI, 3.59-21.80) vs 34.61% (95% CI, 22.33-49.16; χ This suggests a lower direct impact of SARS-CoV-2 compared with the impact of mitigation strategies on psychiatric symptom deterioration in children reported since early stages of the pandemic.
