high sars-cov-2 viral load is associated with a worse clinical outcome of covid-19 disease
high sars-cov-2 viral load is associated with a worse clinical outcome of covid-19 disease
here we report a statistically significant correlation between viral load and disease severity, being high viral load associated with worse clinical prognosis, independently of several previously identified risk factors such as age, sex, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and lung disease (asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).", "the data presented here reinforce the viral load as a potential biomarker for predicting disease severity in sars-cov-2-infected patients.", 


































"it is also an important parameter in viral evolution since it relates to the numbers and types of variant genomes present in a viral population, a potential determinant of disease progression.")
