Do children need a longer time to shed SARS-CoV-2 in stool than adults?
Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 can be shed in the stool of patients in the recovery phase. Children show a longer shedding time than adults. We analyzed the possible causes of this finding and recommend that a negative stool sample be included in a patient's discharge criteria.
