We described the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) in stool samples from patients presenting only acute gastroenteritis (AGE) symptoms. From January to July 2020, 121 AGE stool samples were screened by quantitative reverse‐transcription polymerase chain reaction. We detected SARS‐CoV‐2 in 27.5% of samples received during the epidemic period. No infectious viruses were observed in Vero E6 cells.

巴西急性肠胃炎病例粪便样品中的SARS-CoV-2 RNA检测

我们描述了从仅表现出急性胃肠炎（AGE）症状的患者的粪便样本中检测到严重急性呼吸系统综合症冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）。从2020年1月至2020年7月，通过定量逆转录聚合酶链反应筛选了121例AGE粪便样品。在流行期间，我们在27.5％的样本中检测到SARS-CoV-2。在Vero E6细胞中未观察到感染性病毒。
