5 Advances in laboratory diagnosis |
T78 |
36-210 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The development of rapid diagnosis is urgently needed during the early stages of an epidemic to enable community-based screening and consistent course development monitoring. |
T79 |
211-312 |
Sentence |
denotes |
During the early stage of the COVID-19 epidemic, diagnosis was based on symptoms and chest radiology. |
T80 |
313-430 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The majority of COVID-19 cases showed bilateral distribution of patchy shadows and ground-glass opacity on CT images. |
T81 |
431-577 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, 17.9% of non-critically ill patients and 2.9% patients with severe illnesses showed no radiologic abnormality on hospital admission [39]. |
T82 |
578-724 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RT-PCR has been extensively deployed for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA fragments, and has been recommended for the diagnosis of acute infection. |
T83 |
725-825 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, false-negative results may be problematic, as they can jeopardize the whole community [40]. |
T84 |
826-1084 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The fact that a patient who was RT-PCR negative developed clinical symptoms of COVID-19, suggesting that insufficient amounts of viral genome collection for amplification, or mutations in the NP and ORF of SARS-CoV-2, may lead to false-negative results [41]. |
T85 |
1085-1172 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Serological analysis is another typical method for COVID-19 diagnosis [42], [43], [44]. |
T86 |
1173-1333 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Accurate serological tests would enrich our understanding of the personal process of viral exposure, particularly in the monitoring of asymptomatic individuals. |
T87 |
1334-1552 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Nucleocapsid (N)- and S-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG could be used for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection because of the progressively elevated titers after symptom onset (typically peaking at Days 7–10). |
T88 |
1553-1657 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The combined detection of N- and S-specific IgM and IgG may increase the detection rate at early stages. |
T89 |
1658-1804 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In fact, the combination of N- and S-induced IgM and IgG could be detected in up to 75% of infections within the first week of symptom onset [45]. |
T90 |
1805-1925 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The sensitivity of combined detection of N-IgM and N-IgG, or N-IgG and S-IgG, reached 94.7% within the second week [45]. |
T91 |
1926-2044 |
Sentence |
denotes |
At Week 3, S-IgG titers were significantly higher in non-intensive care unit (ICU) patients than in ICU patients [45]. |
T92 |
2045-2195 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Moreover, the expression level of N-IgG was significantly higher in ICU patients, although S-IgG titers were higher in patients with moderate illness. |
T93 |
2196-2255 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These findings provide hints for prognosis prediction [46]. |
T94 |
2256-2558 |
Sentence |
denotes |
To accelerate the clinical diagnostic testing of COVID-19 (particularly for population-based survey or point-of-care testing), a rapid, accurate, and portable detection method based on clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/ CRISPR associate system (Cas) has been developed. |
T95 |
2559-2691 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The CRISPR/Cas system is an adaptive immune system in archaea and bacteria that defends against foreign genetic elements [47], [48]. |
T96 |
2692-2843 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CRISPR allows a programmable protein to attach onto the target site assisted by a guide RNA for cleavage of the target sequence [47], [49], [50], [51]. |
T97 |
2844-3112 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CRISPR/Cas12a-based detection has been established together with SARS-CoV-2-specific CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) targeting the orf1a, orf1b, N, and E genes, and a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) reporter labeled with a quenched green fluorescent molecule has been developed [48]. |
T98 |
3113-3273 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The fluorescent molecule is cleaved in the presence of a trace amount of SARS-CoV-2 sequences; more importantly, the results can be determined by the naked eye. |
T99 |
3274-3483 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This system also allows for simultaneous reverse transcription and isothermal amplification at a low temperature, independent of laboratory instruments, and thus could meet the urgent need for rapid diagnosis. |
