COVID-19 RT-PCR diagnostic assay sensitivity and SARS-CoV-2 transmission: A missing link?

2021-03-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The sensitivity of commercially available RT-PCR assays varies over 10,000 fold, ranging from 10 to 20,000 viral copies/ml. The reporting of high Ct value results has been under scrutiny, as the clinical significance of these values is not yet completely understood. The early detection of infected individuals (high Ct results) in the pre-symptomatic phase of the disease using highly sensitive R...
