To examine the RNA of severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) in the blood and excretion of convalescent patient with SARS for prevention and treatment of the disease.
A total of 276 samples, including plasma, urine, feces and sputum, obtained from 23 convalescent patients with SARS were studied at 3 time-points at least 21 days after the onset of symptoms. RNA was extracted and nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was carried out using SARS-CoV specific primers.
Among the 276 samples, SARS-CoV RNA was detected in 6 cases (38.8%) by nested RT-PCR. The positive rates of SARS-CoV RNA was 5.8% in feces and 2.9% in sputum samples but SARS-CoV RNA was not detectable in plasma and urine of all the cases.
The existence of SARS-CoV RNA in the excretion of some convalescent patients with SARS showed that the excretion from these patients should be carefully treated whilthe re-transmission of SARS by which, should be further studied.
检测严重急性呼吸综合征相关冠状病毒(SARS-CoV)康复患者血液及排泄物中的RNA,以用于该疾病的防治。
对23例SARS康复患者在症状出现至少21天后的3个时间点采集的共276份样本(包括血浆、尿液、粪便和痰液)进行研究。提取RNA,并使用SARS-CoV特异性引物进行巢式逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)。
在276份样本中,通过巢式RT-PCR在6例(38.8%)中检测到SARS-CoV RNA。粪便样本中SARS-CoV RNA阳性率为5.8%,痰液样本中为2.9%,但所有病例的血浆和尿液中均未检测到SARS-CoV RNA。
部分SARS康复患者排泄物中存在SARS-CoV RNA,表明应对这些患者的排泄物进行谨慎处理,同时SARS由此再次传播的情况仍需进一步研究。
