摘要

Abstract

In this Commentary

we would like to comment on the article titled "A rapid advice guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infected pneumonia (standard version)" as a featured article in

Military Medical Research

. In the guideline

except for "confirmed cases"

"suspected cases"

"close contact" and "suspicious exposure" were defined by clinical perspective based on epidemiological risk

clinical symptoms and auxiliary examination. Combined with our experience

we introduced a simple scoring proposal additionally based on not only CT imaging as strongly recommended by the guideline but also blood routine test

especially for primary screening of such patients in the out-patient department.
