This study measured SARS-CoV-2 detected by real-time reverse transcriptase PCR in paired oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal samples from 33 COVID-19 patients in Jaber Alahmad Hospital (JAH). Cycle threshold (Ct) value for E and RdRP genes were measured using Tib MolBiol’s LightMix.
Analytes
NPS_SARSCoV2
This analyte indicates the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in both nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs, but only the nasopharyngeal swab values are presented.
Fitted by censored maximum likelihood. The red line is the median individual; the shaded region is the full range of a simulated cohort drawn from the fitted population, so it shows what simulating from this dataset would produce rather than a confidence interval, with dashed lines at the central 95%. Open triangles are non-detects, drawn at the censoring limit and entering the fit as "below this value" rather than being dropped. See the modelling methods for what these estimates do and do not support.
