    Snippet: Accuracy of SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM test kit in 5 clinical confirmed cases showed 2 out of the 5 cases were tested positive by IgG/IgM test kit while their RT-PCR results were negative ( Table 2) . SARS-CoV-2 infection starts at the lung not in the upper respiratory tract, hence sampling process has a large effect on final RT-PCR results [13] , which might partially explain the high false-negative rate. However, this should not have any effect on SARS.....
    Document: Accuracy of SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM test kit in 5 clinical confirmed cases showed 2 out of the 5 cases were tested positive by IgG/IgM test kit while their RT-PCR results were negative ( Table 2) . SARS-CoV-2 infection starts at the lung not in the upper respiratory tract, hence sampling process has a large effect on final RT-PCR results [13] , which might partially explain the high false-negative rate. However, this should not have any effect on SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM test kit because only venous blood was needed for this test. IgG/IgM test kit likely can remedy some false negatives inherent in respiratory swab samples and can be served as a complementary option to RT-PCR.
