RESUMO
Asymptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) carriage among hospitalized children and risk of transmission to healthcare workers (HCWs) was evaluated by point prevalence survey. We estimated 1-2% prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among children without coronavirus disease 2019 symptoms. There was no secondary transmission among HCWs exposed to these patients.

Hemolytic anemia is a well-recognized complication in patients with left-sided mechanical heart valves. It is rare to see hemolysis with a bioprosthetic valve in the right ventricular outflow tract. We report a 4-year-old-girl with history of truncus arteriosus status-post repair who developed hemolytic anemia as a result of a calcified and obstructed bioprosthetic right ventricular to pulmonary artery-valved conduit. The hemolysis was alleviated by replacing the obstructed conduit with a larger valved conduit.
