Resumo: Objective: To Analyze self-reported sociodemographic and clinical aspects among individuals aged 2 to 22 years and possible associations with SARS-CoV-2 infection in Espírito Santo. Methods: Serial cross-sectional population-based study carried out from May to June 2020. The percentage of positivity for COVID-19 was evaluated by serological test, and the associated factors by Pearson's chi-square test (significance level of 5%). Results: Among 1,693 individuals aged 2 to 22 years, 6,1% tested positive for COVID-19 and, among these, 35.5% did not present any symptoms. Differences were identified between positive and negative regarding the number of symptoms (p-value=0.001). Cough was reported by 40.4% of positive individuals. Only 14.3% sought health care, with 29.8% among the positive and 13.3% among the negative (p-value=0.001). Conclusion: The percentage of asymptomatic patients can impact the transmission chain of COVID-19 in schools and boost outbreaks of the disease in schools.

Métodos: Estudo transversal seriado de base populacional, realizado de maio a junho de 2020. Avaliou-se o percentual de positividade para COVID-19, por teste sorológico, e os fatores associados pelo teste qui-quadrado de Pearson (nível de significância de 5%). Resultados: Entre 1.693 indivíduos de 2 a 22 anos, 6,1% apresentaram teste positivo para COVID-19; destes, 35,5% não apresentaram nenhum sintoma. Identificou-se diferenças entre os soropositivos e soronegativos quanto ao número de sintomas (p-valor=0,001). A tosse foi relatada por 40,4% dos indivíduos soropositivos. Apenas 14,3% procuraram unidades de saúde, sendo 29,8% entre os soropositivos e 13,3% entre os soronegativos (p-valor=0,001). Conclusão: O percentual de indivíduos assintomáticos pode impactar a cadeia de transmissão da COVID-19 nas escolas, e impulsionar surtos da doença no mesmo ambiente escolar.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2021-06-08info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/242810.1590/s1679-4974202100024porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/2428/4212Copyright (c) 2021 Ethel Leonor Noia Maciel, Cristiana Costa Gomes, Gilton Luiz Almada Almada, Nésio Fernandes de Medeiros Junior, Orlei Amaral Cardoso, Pablo Medeiros Jabor, Tania Reuter Reuter, Vera Lucia Gomes de Andrade, Whisllay Maciel Bastos, Eliana Zandonadehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMaciel, Ethel Leonor Noia Gomes, Cristiana Costa Almada, Gilton Luiz Almada Junior, Nésio Fernandes de MedeirosCardoso, Orlei Amaral Jabor, Pablo Medeiros Reuter, Tania ReuterAndrade, Vera Lucia Gomes de Bastos, Whisllay Maciel Zandonade, Eliana reponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2021-06-08T18:02:22Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/2428Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2021-06-08T18:02:22SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse
