IMPORTANCE Asymptomatic transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a potential problem for pandemic control through public health strategies. Since asymptomatic patients have no clinical symptoms which can easily prevent timely diagnosis and treatment, they may cause a greater risk of virus transmission than symptomatic patients, which poses a major challenge to infection control. Thus far, many studies have analyzed the clinical characteristics of SARS-CoV-2-infected patients presenting levels of illness ranging from mild to severely critical (10, 11) . In this study, we enrolled 25 asymptomatic and 27 symptomatic COVID-19 patients and performed systematic analysis of different clinical characteristics. In this study, we systematically compared different complete blood counts, serum biochemistries, and immunologic responses from SARS-CoV-2-infected asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals. ./cache/cord-351625-1we9wi1g.txt ./txt/cord-351625-1we9wi1g.txt
