Quantifying SARS-CoV-2 viral load in hospitalized patients – News-Medical.Net
A new paper, published on the medRxiv preprint server, investigates the role of subgenomic RNA transcripts in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Earlier, scientists believed…
The rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) across the world has led to the rapid development of diagnostic kits that are highly sensitive and specific. Predominantly, these test kits are based on reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect total viral ribonucleic acid (RNA). One limitation of the RT-PCR test is that the relationship between a positive RT-PCR and viral infectivity is not prominent as the infection advances with time.
