Detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 RNA in the circulation may be associated with disease severity and poor outcomes in patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019.
The clinical significance of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 RNA in the circulation is unknown. In this prospective cohort study, we detected viral RNA in the plasma of 58 of 123 (47%) patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019. RNA was detected more frequently, and levels were higher, in patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit and/or died.
