Methods
Definitions of exposure and clinical complications
** In our study, exposure to wildlife denoted that a person in close contact with wildlife animals (bats, snakes, civet cats, etc.) or visiting either a wildlife retailer or a market selling wildlife within two weeks before the onset of respiratory symptoms. The cases with regular visit to the market without recalling the exposure date were, however, not considered as having definite exposure to the wildlife [E1].
** Pneumonia was diagnosed as an acute respiratory disorder characterized by the presence of cough and at least one of the new-onset focal chest signs, fever for more than 4 days or dyspnoea/ tachypnoea, which were in accordance with the chest radiograph findings of lung shadowing [E2].
** Shock and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) were defined in accordance with the WHO interim guidance [E3].
** Acute kidney injury was defined based on the highest serum creatinine level and urine output [E4]. Specifically, the diagnosis could be made based on any of the following criterion: an increase in serum creatinine levels by 0.3 mg/dl or greater (26.5 µmol/l or greater) within 48 hours; or increase in serum creatinine levels to 1.5 times of the baseline level or greater, which was known or presumed to have occurred within 7 days; or urine volume of below 0.5 ml/kg/h for 6 consecutive hours.
** The diagnosis of secondary bacterial or fungal infection was made in case of the occurrence of hospital-acquired pneumonia or bacteremia, plus a positive result of new pathogen culture from the blood and lower respiratory tract specimen (including sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid or tracheal aspirate) obtained at least 8 hours after admission [E5].
** Acute heart failure was defined as the a clinical syndrome characterized by typical symptoms (e.g. breathlessness, ankle swelling and fatigue) that may be accompanied by signs (e.g. elevated jugular venous pressure, pulmonary crackles and peripheral oedema) caused by a structural and/or functional cardiac abnormality [E6].
** Rhabdomyolysis was diagnosed if the muscle pain or muscle weakness took place on admission and the creatine kinase level was greater than 10 times the upper limit of normal [E7].
Laboratory testing
Laboratory confirmation of the 2019-nCoV was achieved through the concerted efforts of the Chinese Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), the Chinese Academy of Medical Science, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, and Wuhan Institute of Virology.
The reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay was conducted in accordance with the protocol established by the World Health Organization. Details of nucleic acids extraction have been published recently [E5]. Extraction of nucleic acids from the respiratory samples was performed with a High Pure Viral Nucleic Acid Kit. The extracted nucleic acids were tested for the 2019-nCoV.
The following sequences of 2019-nCoV were adopted for the RT-PCR assays: forward primer 5′-TCAGAATGCCAATCTCCCCAAC-3′; reverse primer 5′-AAAGGTCCACCCGATACATTGA-3′; probe 5′CY5-CTAGTTACACTAGCCATCCTTACTGC-3′BHQ1. Amplifications were initially done at 50°C for 15 min and subsequently at 95°C for 3 min, followed by 45 cycles of 95°C for 15 s and 60°C for 30 s [E5].
