Since the declaration of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), it has been a challenge to the whole medical community. Researchers and clinicians have been trying to explain and explore its mechanism and pathophysiology to get a better understanding of this disease, as it has exhausted the healthcare resources and has impacted human life in general. Many tests have been developed including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the virus and rapid diagnostic testing in patients based on IgM/IgG serology. But owing to variable sensitivity and specificity of these tests, it has created a challenging situation to proceed with the further management plan. We are reporting a case series where we experienced the dilemma of diagnosing COVID-9 disease in our patients and further plan of care.
自世界卫生组织（WHO）宣布2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）为大流行病以来，它一直是整个医学界面临的一项挑战。研究人员和临床医生一直在努力解释和探索其机制及病理生理学，以便更好地了解这种疾病，因为它已经耗尽了医疗资源并总体上影响了人类生活。已经开发了许多检测方法，包括病毒的聚合酶链反应（PCR）以及基于IgM/IgG血清学对患者进行快速诊断检测。但由于这些检测方法的敏感性和特异性各不相同，这给推进进一步的管理计划带来了具有挑战性的局面。我们报告了一个病例系列，在其中我们遇到了诊断患者COVID-19疾病的困境以及进一步的护理计划。
