Upper respiratory tract SARS-CoV-2 RNA loads in symptomatic and asymptomatic children and adults

2021-03-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Objectives</h4> There is limited information comparing SARS-CoV-2 RNA load in the upper respiratory tract (URT) between children and adults, either presenting with COVID-19 or asymptomatic. Here we conducted a retrospective, single center study involving a large cohort of SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals to address this issue. <h4>Patients and Methods</h4> A total of 1,184 consecutive subjects...
