    A series of pneumonia cases caused by 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV, also named COVID-19) are being reported globally. Based on recent publications,1–3 the most common symptoms in patients infected by 2019-nCoV were fever and cough. However, the incidence of other clinical features differs in different reports. To address this issue, we collected the data from three reports1–3 and compared the incidence accordingly. We found that the incidence of leucopenia, fever and diarrhoea in the three studies showed a statistically significant difference (table 1). Among these symptoms, diarrhoea displayed the smallest p-value (p=0.016), suggesting that the criteria for diagnosing diarrhoea may differ in different hospitals. Due to the different criteria, clinicians may underestimate the value of this symptom in clinical practice, and it may affect the preliminary diagnostic accuracy.

    • Diarrhea may be underestimated: a missing link in 2019 novel coronavirus Weicheng Liang, Shitao Rao, Cuicui Xiao, Zexiao Lin, Qi Zhang, Wei Qi doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.02.03.20020289 Abstract The outbreak of pneumonia caused by the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was reported in Wuhan City, China. However, the clinical symptoms varied in different reports. Based on the results of inter-group difference test, we found that the incidence of diarrhea differed in three recent reports. As 2019-nCoV utilizes the same cell entry receptor ACE2 as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and ACE2 tightly controls intestinal inflammation, to trace the route of infection mediated by 2019-nCoV, we used the single-cell RNA sequencing data for analysis. We found that the ACE2 mRNA was highly expressed in the healthy human small intestine rather than the lung. Besides, single-cell RNA sequencing data showed that ACE2 was significantly elevated in the proximal and distal enterocytes, where the small intestinal epithelium is exposed to the foreign pathogen. Thus, we suspect that ACE2-expressing small intestinal epithelium cells might be vulnerable to 2019-nCoV infection when people eat infected wild animals and diarrhea may serve as an indicator for infection, suggesting that clinicians should pay more attention to patients with diarrhea during the outbreak of pneumonia. *注，本文为预印本论文手稿，是未经同行评审的初步报告，其观点仅供科研同行交流，并不是结论性内容，请使用者谨慎使用.

    • Estimating the Number of 2019 Novel Coronavirus Cases in Chinese Mainland 15 Pages Posted: 4 Feb 2020 Huwen Wang Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) - School of Public Health Zezhou Wang Fudan University - Department of Oncology More... Abstract Background: An outbreak of clusters of viral pneumonia due to 2019 novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) happened in Wuhan, Hubei province in China in December 2019. Since the outbreak, 2 studies estimated the possible epidemic trend of the infection, but proved to be inconsistent with the actual confirmed number of cases. We intend to re-estimate the trend and peak arrival time for the 2019-nCoV infection transmission in Chinese mainland using the SEIR model, so as to provide theoretical basis for future prevention and control of the current epidemic in China. Methods: An infectious disease dynamics SEIR model was applied to forecast the epidemic’s development trend in China from 26 January 2020 based on data collected from the database reported by the National Health Commission. R0 were assumed to be 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125. Findings: The estimated numbers of cumulative cases would reach the peak on 3rd, 4th and 5th of February, 2020, which were 11,116, 11,373, 11,966, respectively, in Chinese Mainland. Similar peaks were also identified in Hubei Province, Wuhan City and other locations of China outside Hubei Province. The epidemic of 2019 novel Coronavirus was estimated to subside between early May (R0 = 0.125) and early August (R0 = 0.5). The estimated average number of deaths ranged from 344 to 1146. *注，本文为预印本论文手稿，是未经同行评审的初步报告，其观点仅供科研同行交流，并不是结论性内容，请使用者谨慎使用.
