496. Higher SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Cycle Threshold (Ct) Values Associated with Longer Symptom Duration Among Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19
BACKGROUND: Most diagnostic tests for SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, are RT-PCR based. This method is sensitive but cannot distinguish replicating from non-replicating virus. RT-PCR cycle threshold (Ct) values are inversely correlated with viral load, and higher Ct values have been cor...
