According to our preliminary results, mass spectrometry-based methods combined with multivariate analysis showed an interesting potential as a complementary diagnostic tool and further steps should be focused on sample preparation protocols and the improvement of the technology applied. These preliminary results suggest that MALDI-TOF MS coupled with ClinProTools software represents an interesting alternative as a screening tool for diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, especially because of the good performance and accuracy obtained with samples in which viral presence was not detected.	./cache/cord-343586-28ezisog.txt	./txt/cord-343586-28ezisog.txt
