title: [Reliability of detecting SARS-CoV antibody for diagnosis of SARS].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss the reliability of SARS-CoV antibody detection for SARS diagnosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using SARS-CoV ELISA kit to detect relevant antibody in fresh serum of healthy, fever, probable, and suspect cases.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The positive rate is 0%, 40%, and 95% respectively in healthy, probable, and suspect cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is reliable to detect SARS-CoV antibody in late suspect patients, but there will be high false-positive result in ordinary fever cases.
