【 摘 要 】
In the age of the coronavirus epidemic, the implementation of urgent surveillance measures is sorely needed due to the lack of treatment for coronaviruses and the risk of transmission during the incubation period. The risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission is a current topic of investigation and the extent of transmission from individuals who are asymptomatic or within the incubation period remains to be understood (1). The implementation of serologic screening tests is highly anticipated (2) and expected to shed light on the role of asymptomatic infections as well as support the importance of detecting subjects that are asymptomatic or those that have mild symptoms. These individuals remain undetected and complicate the efforts made to control the spread of the disease (3). According to recent reports, up to 51% of confirmed cases may be asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis (4), accounting for silent infection and the incubation period. The latter is reported to last a median of 4 (5) or 5.2 days (6) following infection, with onset of disease within 14 days. How can dermatologists contribute to health surveillance during the coronavirus outbreak?.
