Viral kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic carriers and presymptomatic patients
Abstract
From a total of 71 laboratory-confirmed cases, three presymptomatic patients and 10 patients with entirely asymptomatic infections were identified. In two of the three incubation period patients, the viral titer in the presymptomatic period was very high (Ct value < 20). The median number of days to first negative RT-PCR in the asymptomatic carriers was 4.5 (range 2.5–9), and all asymptomatic carriers reached a first RT-PCR Ct > 35 within 14...
