The relationship between COVID‐19 viral load and disease severity: A systematic review
Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2022 Introduction Patients with COVID‐19 may present different viral loads levels. However, the relationship between viral load and disease severity in COVID‐19 is still unknown.

High heritability is compatible with the broad distribution of set point viral load in HIV carriers.
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 Set point viral load in HIV patients ranges over several orders of magnitude and is a key determinant of disease progression in HIV. A number of recent studies have reported high heritability of set point viral load implying that viral genetic factors ...

SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA levels are not 'viral load' [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2021 Ct values are commonly used as proxy of SARS-CoV-2 “viral load”. Because of the (+)ssRNA nature of coronaviruses, current RT-qPCR target amplification does not distinguish replicative from transcriptional RNA. Although Ct values analyses through time, space and biological backgrounds remain informative, equating Ct with viral load may generate ...

Modelling upper respiratory viral load dynamics of SARS-CoV-2
BMC Medicine, 2022 Relationships between viral load, severity of illness, and transmissibility of virus are fundamental to understanding pathogenesis and devising better therapeutic and prevention strategies for COVID-19. Here we present within-host modelling of viral load

Near point-of-care HIV viral load testing: Cascade after high viral load in suburban Yangon, Myanmar
PLoS ONE, 2023 Introduction HIV viral load (VL) testing in resource-limited settings is often centralised, limiting access. In Myanmar, we assessed outcomes according to VL access and the VL cascade (case management after a first high VL result) before and after near ...
