Virological assessment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19
• 9 cases were enrolled because of infection upon close contact to an index case, all mild courses
• Diagnosis by RT-PCR from oro-or nasopharyngeal swab, earliest swab taken on day 1 of symptoms (often mild or prodromal)
• All treated in hospital in Munich
R. Wölfel et al Nature 2020 Apr 1

No difference viral loads or detection rates naso- versus oropharyngeal swabs• day 1-5: all swabs positive• > day 5: detection rate 40%

INFECTIVITY RESPIRATORY TRACT
Virus isolation• first week: 17% swabs, 83% sputum
samples: isolation successful• >8 days: no isolates obtained despite
high viral loads
Viral sgRNA• only transcribed in infected cells, not
packaged into virions - indicator of actively-infected cells
• only detected during first 5 days in throat swabs
STOOL SAMPLES
• High viral loads• No or only minimal replication in stool
(sgRNA)• Virus isolation never successful
ANTIBODY RESPONSE
• seroconversion in 50% by day 7 and 100% by day 14
• all patients detectable neutralizing antibodies
URINE or SERUM samples: no detection of viral RNA

SARS-CoV-2 Viral load kinetics: throat versus nasal swabs
L. Zou et al. NEJM 2020, March 19
• 18 patients (Guangdong, China), 14 returned from Wuhan
• 1 asymptomatic patient: similar viral loads, CT scan unremarkable
mid-turbinate and nasopharynx

Posterior oropharyngeal saliva samples: an alternative?
KK. To et al. Lancet Infect Dis 2020 Mar 23
Observational cohort study: two hospitals Hong Kong
23 patients: • 10 severe disease• 17 (74%) ground-glass opacities on CT• 3 patients intubated (endotracheal
aspirate)
Self collected samplesPatients were asked to produce an early morning saliva sample from the throat, i.e. coughed up by clearing the throat
![Page 8: COVID-19 crash course Laboratorium-diagnostiek...COVID-19 crash course Laboratorium-diagnostiek Katrien Lagrou Virological assessment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 • 9 cases](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050116/5f4cca5c8ac4b51e622996fb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
PCR testing• Nasopharyngeal swabs preferred, more data needed for comparison
with throat swabs or other alternatives• (Rapid) decline of viral load in upper respiratory tract samples during
first week after start symptoms, timing of sampling likely affects sensitivity
• Technical issues: many targets, inhibition control necessary,…• Turn around time of most assays suboptimal

PCR testing• What is the sensitivity of a SARS-CoV-2 PCR?
This depends most likely on:o Sample type: higher yield with lower respiratory tract samples
(sputum, bronchial- or endotracheal aspirate, BAL probably best performance)
o Patient group:• Outpatient/health care worker with first symptoms of disease
(difficult to assess)• Patient admitted to the hospital with pneumonia (PCR, CT-scan, antibody test
needed to assess sensitivity)• Underlying disease?
o …

Preliminary evaluation results are promising
![Page 23: COVID-19 crash course Laboratorium-diagnostiek...COVID-19 crash course Laboratorium-diagnostiek Katrien Lagrou Virological assessment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 • 9 cases](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050116/5f4cca5c8ac4b51e622996fb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Antibody tests• >100 tests available but clinical validation is lacking• Different formats: rapid lateral flow assays versus ELISA’s• Diagnostic value: can provide microbiological confirmation of COVID-19 in
patients with diagnosis based on CT-scan only• Can give information about proportion of different populations that were
infected, may be helpful for policy makers• Will help in the profiling of the COVID-19 spectrum (subclinical infection,
atypical presentation, ….) and to gain better knowledge about the prognosis• But much more research needs to be done …..
o Can people with antibodies be considered as immune and how long will immunity last? o Do people who had mild or no symptoms gain the same protection? o Will the virus mutate to overcome the body’s immunity?
