We compared the measured SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels in sputum specimens from COVID-19 patients at admission among groups divided according to age, sex, underlying diseases and disease severity (Fig. 2a) . a, b The measured SARS-CoV-2 RNAs levels in sputum (a) and throat swab (b) specimens from COVID-19 patients at admission were compared according to the age, sex, comorbidity, and the disease severity. In this study, we analyzed the clinical features including SARS-CoV-2 RNA load and immunological characteristics of peripheral blood in a patient cohort with COVID-19 from Anhui Province, China. ./cache/cord-301115-sedfbjlw.txt ./txt/cord-301115-sedfbjlw.txt
