Detecting SARS-CoV-2 in blood may be early indicator of severe disease – LabPulse
A blood test that measures SARS-CoV-2 RNA when patients are admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 symptoms can be a powerful diagnostic tool to predict how severe their disease will be, according to a study published in Clinical Infectious Diseases …
With the original SARS-CoV virus, high serum viral load and detection of the virus at multiple sites were predictive of adverse clinical outcomes. With SARS-CoV-2, increased oropharyngeal (throat) viral loads have been associated with age. Disease severity has been suggested to be correlated to SARS-CoV-2 RNA detected in serum.
