Title: Viral loads in clinical specimens and SARS manifestations. Cord-id: pwtgem5e Document date: 2009_1_1
ID: pwtgem5e
Snippet: 1. A high viral load in nasopharyngeal aspirate (with or without a high viral load in serum) is a useful prognostic indicator of respiratory failure or mortality. The presence of viral RNA in multiple body sites is also indicative of poor prognosis. 2. Early treatment with an effective antiviral agent before day 10 may decrease the peak viral load, and thus ameliorate the clinical symptoms and mortality, and reduce viral shedding and the risk of transmission
