摘要
Inactivated severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus samples were used for an external quality assurance study within the World Health Organization SARS Reference and Verification Network and other reference institutions. Of 58 participants, 51 correctly detected virus in all samples greater than or equal to9,400 RNA copies per milliliter and none in negative samples. Commercial test kits significantly improved the outcome.
