SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia was detected in at least one sample in 58/123 (47%) patients, and in a significantly higher proportion of patients who were admitted to the ICU or died (80% vs. RNAemia was significantly more frequent at all time points in patients who reached the primary endpoint, whereas RNA loads were significantly higher at baseline and day 3 ( Table 1 , Supplementary Figure 2A ). In this prospective study of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 we detected SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia in 47% of included patients, and a significantly higher frequency of RNAemia and higher RNA loads in and similarly found that RNAemia was associated with ICU admission and hospital mortality [3] . ./cache/cord-329311-p68kr4ga.txt ./txt/cord-329311-p68kr4ga.txt
