Overview

The diagnostic criteria for suspected and confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are tabulated in the section below.

Diagnostic Study of Choice

Diagnostic Criteria

The diagnostic criteria for suspected and confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is tabulated below:[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Case Diagnostic Criteria
Suspected Case Anyone with a history of epidemiology and any two of the clinical manifestations or anyone without epidemiological history and three of the clinical manifestations is considered to be a suspected case:

1) Epidemiological history:

  • Within 14 days before the disease onset, there is a travel history or living history in Wuhan or other areas with local cases
  • Within 14 days before the disease onset, there is contact with patients who had a fever or respiratory symptoms from Wuhan or other areas with local cases
  • Clustering of patients or contact with patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2


2) Clinical manifestations:

  • Fever and/or respiratory symptoms
  • With the above-mentioned imaging characteristics of pneumonia
  • The total number of leukocytes in the early stage of the disease is normal or decreased, or the lymphocyte count is decreased
Confirmed Case Any suspected case with one of the following pathogenic features is reclassified as a confirmed case:


Ongoing diagnostic Trials

  • A researcher at Israel’s Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) has developed a test that identifies those carrying the COVID-19 virus in less than a minute. And it is both affordable and works with greater than 90% accuracy to boot[7]

Antibody response

  • Most recovering from #COVID19 do not have high levels of neutralizing antibodies BUT antibodies to the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein with potent antiviral activity were found in all individuals tested & may be tx target[8]
  • 8 weeks after hospital discharge, 40% of asymptomatic patients have no antibodies, and 12.9% of those who were symptomatic had no #COVID19 antibodies[9]
