Daily Viral Kinetics and Innate and Adaptive Immune Response Assessment in COVID-19: a Case Series vetter2020daily
The author measured SARS-CoV-2 detected by real-time reverse transcriptase PCR in both oropharyngeal (OPS) and nasopharyngeal (NPS) swabs from five COVID-19 patients in Geneva, Switzerland, up to days 7 and 19 after symptom onset. Cellular and humoral SARS-CoV-2-specific adaptive responses and serology data are currently not included in this dataset.
Analytes
NPS_SARSCoV2
SARS-CoV-2 RNA gene copy concentrations in nasopharyngeal samples. The concentrations were quantified in gene copies per mL.
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.
