The study examined ten atypical patients out of 909 severe or critical patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Wuhan Union Hospital West Campus between 25 January 2020 and 10 February 2020. Chest computed tomography (CT) scan and nucleic acid detection should be performed immediately on close contacts of COVID-19 patients to screen out those with atypical infections, even if the contacts present without respiratory symptoms or fever at onset. In this study, we aimed to describe the clinical, laboratory, and radiological characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of severe or critical COVID-19 patients who presented no respiratory symptoms or fever at onset. An atypical patient was defined as a patient with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 but without characteristic fever or respiratory symptoms before hospital admission.	./cache/cord-315056-ohyb6oa0.txt	./txt/cord-315056-ohyb6oa0.txt
