Some uncertainties remain regarding SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic procedures and seroprevalence studies in children. RT-PCR assays conducted on nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs remain the gold standard for SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic in children as in adults. Saliva samples might replace soon NP swabs as similar sensitivities have been reported from both samples in adults, but not yet in children. Rapid antigen testing is currently performed on NP swabs collected from children within 4 days of their symptom onset. Serology testing is an essential diagnostic tool in seroprevalence studies, which might guide in the future public health decisions.
