ABSTRACT
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus in China (2019-nCoV) has spread to all 31 provinces in China and more than 24 countries in the world. The cure criterion was based on the negative results with respiratory specimens in real-time reverse transcription polymerise chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays with an interval of 24 hrs. This report describes the controversial viral nucleic acid test in 27 cases after hospitalization for medical treatment for various periods. Of 27 cases, 6 cases showed positive results for fecal specimen, and 2 cases showed negative results with respiratory secretion but positive with fecal specimen. In summary, the consistence of results of nucleic acid test with different type of specimens from patients infected with 2019-nCoV varied, deeper research is needed to reveal the criteria of nucleic acid detection during different stages of the 2019-nCoV infection.
