Background
Molecular testing for respiratory viruses in clinical practice is common, often with multiple viruses detected. Viral load has been correlated with illness severity, but correlation of co-detection of viruses and viral load is less clear. We sought to compare cycle threshold (Ct) values, a marker inversely related to viral load, between single vs. co-detection of common respiratory viruses.
