The dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 remain understudied, but early systemic seeding of the virus was observed in hospitalized individuals. Remdesivir treatment was associated with faster viral decay in the body.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) kinetics remain understudied, including the impact of remdesivir. In hospitalized individuals, peak sputum viral load occurred in week 2 of symptoms, whereas viremia peaked within 1 week of symptom-onset, suggesting early systemic seeding of SARS-CoV-2. Remdesivir treatment was associated with faster viral decay.
