cord-256146-d599uera	Kuiken, Thijs	Newly discovered coronavirus as the primary cause of severe acute respiratory syndrome	2003-07-26		.txt	text/plain	5686	281	49	METHODS: We tested clinical and postmortem samples from 436 SARS patients in six countries for infection with SARSCoV, human metapneumovirus, and other respiratory pathogens. SARS-CoV was detected in pneumonic areas by virus isolation and RT-PCR, and was localised to alveolar epithelial cells and syncytia by immunohistochemistry and transmission electron microscopy. . Serial dilutions of the SARS-CoV virus stock and SARS-CoV-infected Vero cells from patient 5688 were made and tested with the NP and polymerase-specific RT-PCRs. Samples from the respiratory tract (nasal swabs, pharyngeal swabs, postmortem trachea, and lung samples) were also monitored for influenza A and B virus, respiratory syncytial virus A and B, rhinovirus, coronavirus (OC43 and 229E), and human metapneumovirus with use of essentially the same RT-PCR methods but with specific primers. Virological examinations of nasal and pharyngeal swabs, and tracheal and lung samples from all four macaques by RT-PCR for influenza A and B virus, respiratory syncytial virus A and B, rhinovirus, coronavirus (OC43 and 229E) and human metapneumovirus were negative.	./cache/cord-256146-d599uera.txt	./txt/cord-256146-d599uera.txt
