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.
