Clinical records, laboratory results and CT images were reviewed for nine COVID-19 patients with initially negative RT-PCR detection.Results: Fever and cough were common, and one patient merely present gastrointestinal symptoms. Increasing CRP and decreasing ALB were showed in nearly half of the patients among negative detection and return to normal level after real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results converted from positive to negative.
