Abstract:
Etiological and serological testing, including virus genome, virus antigen, anti-virus antibodies, virus culture and identification, were the standard laboratory tests to confirm or exclude Ebola virus infections.Moreover, other laboratory tests, such as blood routine tests, liver and kidney function tests, serum electrolyte tests, and coagulation function tests, were very important to the clinical diagnosis and treatment of Ebola virus disease ( EVD) patients.Based on working experiences and practices in the China Ebola Treatment Center and available publications, opinions about the detailed clinical significance and associated key point of biosafty prevention and protection protocols of above described laboratory tests for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of EVD were provided.
