41 views 0 04/16/2020 05/20/2020 Laurie-Anne Duquette

  1. There is a significant difference in the ratio of severe symptoms between the RNA blood positive group (100%) and the RNA blood negative group (23,5%).
  2. There is a significant difference in the ratio of severe symptoms between the RNA anal swab positive group (72,7%) and the RNA blood negative group (23,5%).
  3. Both tests could be benefit for disease evolution predictor.

This data comes from a retrospective study including 57 patients with confirmed 2019-nCoV and pneumonia-based diseases. 6 of them were detected to be blood positive. They wanted to investigate if special profiles of virus replication were correlated with patient with severe clinical symptoms.
