SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection is associated with high nasopharyngeal viral load

2022-02-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> We provide here direct comparison of viral load in nasopharyngeal specimens of patients infected by Omicron and former severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants. <h4>Methods: </h4>: We retrospectively reviewed the results of SARS-CoV-2 testing conducted during two corresponding periods of years 2021 and 2022 (i.e., between 3-9 January), characterized by local preva...
