Many studies have evaluated the possible utility of cycle threshold (Ct) values as a predictor
of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity and patient outcome. Given the …

Background Literature depicts no association of cycle threshold values for SARS-CoV-2 with
the patient's demographics or clinical history. However, the severity of the COVID-19 …

Objectives: Advanced molecular diagnostic methods like real-time polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) play a vital role in the early recognition of viral infections, including the …

Introduction: Our knowledge has gaps regarding severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication levels and its association to severity of Coronavirus …

Background The association between the cycle threshold (Ct) which reflects the SARS-CoV-
2 viral load and the severity of COVID-19 is still not clear. We investigated the association …

Background: The ability to predict likely prognosis and infectiousness for patients with
COVID-19 would aid patient management decisions. Diagnosis is usually via real-time PCR …

Background The ability to predict likely prognosis and infectiousness for patients with COVID-
19 would aid patient management decisions. Diagnosis is usually via real-time PCR, and it …

Background The connection between initial viral cycle threshold (Ct) values of the SARS-
CoV-2 with symptoms and hospital course is not clearly studied. Methods This is a …

Cycle threshold (CT) values are correlated with the amount of viral nucleic acid in a sample
and may be obtained from some qualitative real-time polymerase chain reaction tests used …

Background Recent studies indicate that the population-level SARS-CoV-2 cycle threshold
(Ct) values can inform the trajectory of the pandemic. The presented study investigates the …
