Laboratory diagnosis of emerging human coronavirus infections – the state of the art	2020-03-30		.txt	text/plain	4734	269	46	The laboratory diagnostic methods for human coronavirus infections have evolved substantially, with the development of novel assays as well as the availability of updated tests for emerging ones. It must be appreciated that no matter how accurate and fast laboratory testing methods are, the diagnosis of viral pneumonias such as caused by SARS-CoV-2 involves collecting the correct specimen from the patient at the right time. The authors recommended to use serology to facilitate the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infections when an NP swab specimen was collected inappropriately and the molecular assays were performed unsatisfactorily [42] . Several RT-PCR protocols for detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA have been posted by the World Health Organization at https://www.who.int/emergencies/ diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/ laboratory-guidance. Considering the increased levels of mortality and infectivity associated with three novel-coronavirus outbreaks, these random-access, safe and simple tests, which offer fast and accurate detection and identification, are likely to have an immediate impact on prompt clinical and epidemiological decisions [7, 63] .	./cache/cord-266987-ikt8r2o1.txt	./txt/cord-266987-ikt8r2o1.txt
