Repeat COVID-19 Molecular Testing: Correlation with Recovery of Infectious Virus, Molecular Assay Cycle Thresholds, and Analytical Sensitivity

2020-08-06

Abstract excerpt

Repeat molecular testing for SARS-CoV-2 may result in scenarios including multiple positive results, positive test results after negative tests, and repeated false negative results in symptomatic individuals. Consecutively collected specimens from a retrospective cohort of COVID-19 patients at the Johns Hopkins Hospital were assessed for RNA and infectious virus shedding. Whole genome sequencing confirmed the viru...
