Poor control of viral replication in the lung as major driver of early respiratory failure in ventilated patients with COVID-19
2025-08-18
Abstract excerpt
The contribution of active SARS-CoV-2 viral replication to respiratory failure in severe COVID-19 remains unclear. We prospectively analysed bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples from 159 critically ill COVID-19 patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) for SARS-CoV-2 RNA load, replication-competent virus and host immune gene expression. Viral RNA was detected in 84.3% of patients and 60% were positi...
