SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR profile in 298 Indian COVID-19 patients : a retrospective observational study	2020-06-20		.txt	text/plain	2146	141	60	title: SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR profile in 298 Indian COVID-19 patients : a retrospective observational study Currently as per the revised government of India guidelines asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients can be discharged 10 days after symptom onset and the strategy of repeat RT-PCR testing has been done away with. Cases with laboratory confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, made by positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR on nasopharyngeal samples, were enrolled regardless of symptomatology. The mean duration from 1st and last positive RT-PCR assays between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients were 13·01±4·63 and 13·93±5·42 days respectively; and the difference was not statistically significant with p value <0·05 (p=0·39). This study was conducted in the initial part of pandemic in India, which, to the best of our knowledge provides the largest data on SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection in naso-pharyngeal and oro-pharyngeal samples in symptomatic or asymptomatic COVID-19 cases.
