Résumé |
The yield of repeat severe acute respiratory syndrome coronovirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing for intrapartum fever in patients admitted to labor and delivery negative for SARS-CoV-2 on admission testing is unknown. From October 2020 to June 2022, we performed a retrospective study of 151/3,168 (4.8%) patients who had repeat testing for intrapartum fever. One (0.7%) patient was SARS-CoV-2-positive suggesting repeat SARS-CoV-2 testing for intrapartum fever is generally not warranted nor is separating birthing dyads while awaiting test results.
