| Core Tip |
This is the first clinical retrospective study in Turkey that reports the features of the patients that were diagnosed and treated as possible coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases whose multiple nasopharyngeal swab samples were negative by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) but serological immunoglobulin M/immunoglobulin G antibody against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was detected by a rapid antibody test. Our study demonstrated the feasibility of COVID-19 diagnosis based on rapid antibody tests in the cases of patients whose RT-PCR samples were negative. An effective diagnosis for COVID-19 is likely to require a hybrid strategy of PCR and serologic testing with the radiological demonstration. |
