Presented By: Yi-Wei Tang, MD, PhD Speaker Biography: Dr. Yi-Wei Tang is currently the China Chief Medical Officer of Cepheid at the Danaher Diagnostic Platform in Shanghai. He obtained his medical training from Fudan University Shanghai School of Medicine and Ph.D. in microbiology and immunology from Vanderbilt University. Webinar: Laboratory Diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 Infections: Current Status Webinar Abstract: This presentation reviews the current laboratory methods available for testing coronaviruses by focusing on the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak going on in Wuhan. Viral pneumonias typically do not result in the production of purulent sputum. Thus, a nasopharyngeal swab is usually the collection method used to obtain a specimen for testing. Nasopharyngeal specimens may miss early infection; a deeper specimen may need to be obtained by bronchoscopy. Earn PACE Credits: 1.
