Abstract
The emergence and spread of 2019 novel coronavirus–infected pneumonia (COVID‐19) from Wuhan, China, it has spread globally. We extracted the data on 14 patients with laboratory‐confirmed COVID‐19 from Jinhua Municipal Central hospital through 27 January 2020. We found that compared to pharyngeal swab specimens, nucleic acid detection of COVID‐19 in fecal specimens was equally accurate. And we found that patients with a positive stool test did not experience gastrointestinal symptoms and had nothing to do with the severity of the lung infection. These results may help to understand the clinical diagnosis and the changes in clinical parameters of COVID‐19.
