Laboratory diagnosis of COVID-19()	2020-08-31		.txt	text/plain	3605	220	45	DATA SOURCES: Searches in PubMed and Google Scholar for articles made available in 2020, using the terms "diagnosis" OR "diagnostic" OR "diagnostic tests" OR "tests" AND "COVID-19" OR "SARS-CoV-2" in the title. 25 Some studies report patients with mild (or even asymptomatic) COVID-19 present lower levels of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies or may even do not develop detectable levels, while patients with more severe conditions have higher levels of these. 38 The data presented suggest that the diagnosis of COVID-19 should be based on clinical manifestations, contact history, imaging tests, laboratory tests, and not only on serological tests and the search for the genetic material of the virus. The gold standard for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection is the identification of viral genetic material by RT-PCR, in different samples, with greater sensitivity in bronchoalveolar lavage and nasopharyngeal swab.	./cache/cord-303539-gimz41yb.txt	./txt/cord-303539-gimz41yb.txt
