Title: Viral load of SARS-CoV-2 across patients and compared to other respiratory viruses Cord-id: 7dc2gox0 Document date: 2020_9_7
ID: 7dc2gox0
Snippet: RT-PCRs to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA is key to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. We analyzed SARS-CoV-2 viral loads from 22’323 RT-PCR results according to samples types, gender, age, and health units. Viral load did not show any difference across age and appears to be a poor predictor of disease outcome. SARS-CoV-2 viral load showed similar high viral loads than the one observed for RSV and influenza B. The importance of viral load to predict contagiousness and to assess disease progression is discus
