Overview
Research laboratories have used isolation methods, electron microscopy, serology and PCR-based assays to diagnose coronavirus infections for surveillance studies.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Specific laboratory tests may include:
- Virus isolation in cell culture.
- Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays that are more practical and available commercially.
- Serological testing for antibodies to human coronaviruses.
Nose and throat swabs are the best specimens for detecting common human coronaviruses. Serological testing requires collection of blood specimens.
