Amount of COVID Viral RNA Detected at Hospital Admission Predicts How Patients Will Fare – Newswise
A new study published online in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society examines whether the amount of RNA, or genomic load, of SARS-CoV-2 detected in swab

Newswise — Oct. 29, 2020 A new study published online in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society examines whether the amount of RNA, or genomic load, of SARS-CoV-2 detected in swab tests of patients being admitted to the hospital with viral pneumonia is associated with more severe COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes COVID-19. Previous studies on this question have had conflicting results.
In “Association of SARS-CoV-2 Genomic Load With COVID-19 Patient Outcomes,” Ioannis M. Zacharioudakis,…
