T29 | 3275-3378 | Sentence | denotes | The thick red line indicates trend in viral RNA load over time, and the shaded areas represent 95% CIs. |
T30 | 3379-3448 | Sentence | denotes | The dashed line indicates the detection limit (1.25 × 104 copies/mL). |
T31 | 3449-3525 | Sentence | denotes | Specimens with undetectable viral RNA loads are shown under the dashed line. |
T32 | 3526-3651 | Sentence | denotes | Days after onset indicates days after symptom onset for symptomatic patients, days after diagnosis for asymptomatic patients. |
T33 | 3652-3793 | Sentence | denotes | We collected urine specimens from the 12 patients after a median of 3 (range 0–8) days and plasma specimens at 2 (range 0–8) days from onset. |

T40 | 4527-4723 | Sentence | denotes | The detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in feces does not necessarily mean that infectious virus is present; thus, lack of virus isolation in our study limits interpretation in the context of infectivity. |
T41 | 4724-4845 | Sentence | denotes | However, viable virus was isolated in feces in previous studies, and infectivity was dependent on viral RNA load (3,5,6). |

T43 | 5056-5255 | Sentence | denotes | Our findings also suggest that feces is a promising and reliable source for detecting both current and recent SARS-CoV-2 infection because the viral RNA is present in high loads for a prolonged time. |
T44 | 5256-5379 | Sentence | denotes | Fecal specimens could aid in seeking the etiologic relationship between COVID-19 and unexpected manifestations in children. |
T45 | 5380-5489 | Sentence | denotes | We also detected SARS-CoV-2 RNA in saliva during the early phase of the infection for a short period of time. |
