In the period April 24, 2020 – December 31, 2021 at Saint Andrew’s County Emergency Clinical Hospital’s Molecular Biology Laboratory were performed 2856 RT-PCR tests on childrens. This method consists of two steps: extraction and amplification. RT-PCR is the golden standard to diagnose infection with Covid-19.
The tests were performed on patients of both genders and under 18 years old. Statistics show that both male and female patients were affected by Sars-Cov-2 in relatively equal proportions: in the first year (male 46% and female 54%), followed by the next year (male 48% and female 52%).
The results concluding, that during the study, in 2020, 6.98% of the total number of tests came out positive, 92.32% came out negative, 0.70% inconclusive. In 2021, 4.21% of the total number of tests came out positive, 95.56% came out negative, 0.23% inconclusive.
This study highlights the situation of Covid-19 cases encountered at childrens from the Pediatric section diagnosed in Constanta, Romania.
