To address this knowledge gap, we investigate prevalence predictors (either symptomatic or not) disease 5 years-old Amazonian children. Methodology/Principal findings We retrospectively estimated attack rates proportion infections leading among 660 participants a population-based birth cohort study Juruá Valley, Brazil. Children were physically examined, tested for IgG IgM antibodies, had comprehensive health questionnaire administered during follow-up visit at age years carried out January June-July 2021. found serological evidence past 297 (45.0%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 41.2–48.9%) participants, but only 15 (5.1%; CI, 2.9–8.2%) seropositive prior medical diagnosis COVID-19 reported their mothers guardians. period clinically apparent COVID-19, defined as presence specific antibodies plus one more symptoms suggestive (cough, shortness breath, loss taste smell) guardians since pandemic onset, was 7.3% (95% 5.4–9.5%). Importantly, from poorest households those with educated significantly likely be seropositive, after controlling potential confounders mixed-effects multiple Poisson regression analysis.
