Title: Could threshold cycle value correctly reflect the severity of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)? Cord-id: 2lnk3fwc Document date: 2020_9_9
ID: 2lnk3fwc
Snippet: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is diagnosed by positive result of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the novel coronavirus. We concluded that cycle threshold value (Ct-value) of real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) assay could decrease as patients recover. Results of rRT-PCR assay could remain positive among asymptomatic patients for longer than 2 weeks. The discharge criteria of COVID-19 patients using a negative result of rRT-PCR should be reconsidered.
