cord-339271-t7cxqkp1	Pan, Yanfeng	Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 26 asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers	2020-04-22		.txt	text/plain	3277	230	55	The median period from diagnosis to negative nucleic acid test was significantly different between patients with normal or atypical chest computed tomography (CT) findings (n=16, 61.5%; 7.5 days [2–20 days]) and patients with typical ground-glass or patchy opacities on CT(n=10, 38.5%; 12.5 days[8–22 days]; P<0.01). Here, we identified a total of 26 persistently asymptomatic patients with positive test results for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid to determine the clinical characteristics and asymptomatic carrier transmission of COVID-19 infection. A total of 26 hospitalized patients with a SARS-CoV-2 epidemiological history and positive SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test results were identified to analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of COVID-19infected asymptomatic carriers. Discharge criteria for COVID-19 were as follows: 1) normal body temperature for more than 3 days; 2) significantly improved respiratory symptoms; 3) significantly improved chest radiography; and 4) two consecutive negative SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test results (sampling interval at least 1 day).	./cache/cord-339271-t7cxqkp1.txt	./txt/cord-339271-t7cxqkp1.txt
