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.

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 ...

Near point-of-care HIV viral load testing: Cascade after high viral load in suburban Yangon, Myanmar.

PLoS ONE, 2023
IntroductionHIV 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 ...
