Inclusion of cycle threshold (CT) values when reporting SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR results improves clinical Interpretation in suspected and confirmed COVID-19

2021-02-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> The Cycle Threshold (CT) value in Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) is where a target specific amplification signal becomes detectable and can infer viral load, risk of transmission and recovery in SARS-CoV-2 infections. Adoption into routine practice is however uncommon. <h4>Gap Statement</h4> The lack of inclusion of CT values when reporting SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR results in routine p...
