Detection of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by real-time RT-PCR
Background The ongoing outbreak of the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) poses a challenge for public health laboratories as virus isolates are unavailable while there is growing evidence that the outbreak is more widespread than initially ...

Sensitivity of Chest CT for COVID-19: Comparison to RT-PCR
In a series of 51 patients with chest CT and real-time polymerase chain reaction assay (RT-PCR) performed within 3 days, the sensitivity of CT for 2019 novel coronavirus infection was 98% and that ...

A brief history of RT-PCR and our laboratory experience with SARS-CoV-2 analyses using RT-PCR
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is in vitro replication that allows accelerated amplification of certain sequences in small DNA fragments. A sensitive technique, only traces of DNA are needed for PCR to produce enough copies to be analyzed.

Chest CT for Typical 2019-nCoV Pneumonia: Relationship to Negative RT-PCR Testing
Some patients with positive chest CT findings may present with negative results of real time reverse-transcription–polymerase chain- reaction (RT-PCR) for 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). In this report, we present chest CT findings from five patients

SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR positivity rate and predictor factors for RT-PCR results in COVID-19 disease
Background/Aim: In December 2019, a novel coronavirus was identified and caused the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. The gold standard diagnostic method is the detection of nucleic acid in respiratory tract samples by real-time polymerase chain reaction ...
