The impact of viremia on organ failure, biomarkers and mortality in a Swedish cohort of critically ill COVID-19 patients
Abstract The spread of virus via the blood stream has been suggested to contribute to extra-pulmonary organ failure in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We assessed SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia (RNAemia) and the association between RNAemia and inflammation, organ failure and mortality in critically ill COV...
