Longitudinal SARS-CoV-2 testing is punctuated by intermittent positivity and variable rates of cycle-threshold decline

2021-10-01

Abstract excerpt

The COVID-19 pandemic is complicated by cases of vaccine-breakthrough, re-infection, and widespread transmission of variants of concern (VOC). Consequently, the need to interpret longitudinal positive SARS-CoV-2 (SCV-2) tests is crucial in guiding clinical decisions regarding infection control precautions and treatment. Although quantitative tests are not routinely used diagnostically, standard diagnostic RT-PCR t...
