Abstract

The diagnosis of COVID-19 is based on the positive of etiological test. The current etiological test of COVID-19 cost long time, and have high false negative rate, may resulting delay the measures of disease treatment and prevention. We suggested that COVID-19 should be diagnosed as 3 types: suspected case, clinical diagnosed case, and definite diagnosed case.

新型冠状病毒肺炎的诊断是以病原学检测阳性为确诊标准的,由于现有的病原学检测耗时较长,假阴性率较高,致使疑似病例的确诊时间延长,从而延误后续防治。本文建议将该病的诊断标准分为疑似病例、临床诊断病例和确诊病例3类。.
