COVID-19 or not COVID-19? Compared characteristics of patients hospitalized for suspected COVID-19 [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2021
During an epidemic period, we compared patients hospitalized for initial suspicion of COVID-19 but for whom an alternative diagnosis was finally retained (n = 152) with those who had COVID-19 (n = 222). Most common diagnoses were another infectious disease and heart failure. COVID-19-negative patients were more often active smokers had less often cough,
