Due to the small sample sizes in the pediatric age groups, we examined diagnostic indications
for 47 cases (1-11 years of age) for whom this information was available. Fifteen cases had
indications pointing toward underlying disease or hospitalization. Average viral loads in these
cases were lower than in children tested in outpatient departments, practices, or households
(Figure A2). This corresponds to the observation that hospitalization occurs after some days of
symptoms, a time when viral loads in throat swabs are beginning to decline.
