This study compared symptoms in ambulatory patients with and without SARS-CoV-2 infection, finding that symptoms alone cannot reliably distinguish COVID-19 from other respiratory infections.

Abstract

We compared symptoms and characteristics of 4961 ambulatory patients with and without laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Findings indicate that clinical symptoms alone would be insufficient to distinguish between COVID-19 and other respiratory infections (e.g., influenza) and/or to evaluate the effects of preventive interventions (e.g., vaccinations).
