Viral Load Kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in First Two Patients in Korea

Category: Article Summary

Topic: Clinical Characteristics and Health Care Setting

• Kim et al. report that data on viral load kinetics in confirmed cases are lacking. They present distinct viral load kinetics of the first two confirmed patients with mild to moderate illnesses in Korea. The findings suggest that viral load kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 may be different from that of other coronavirus infection.
