A study of rt-pcr negative covid-19 cases in a tertiary rural health care centre
Introduction: Reports say that many “suspected” cases with archetypal clinical characteristics of COVID-19 and characteristic computed tomography (CT) images went undetected by RT-PCR due to late testing, escape variants and lack of sputum samples through BAL . This study directs to assess the clinical features, laboratory tests, radiological results, complications, and management of these patients who are COVID cases clinically but were RT-PCR negative.
