Jeong et al. consider RNA concentrations in the faeces of five patients. Data were extracted from Tbl. 2.

Note

Viral RNA concentrations reported by this study are orders of magnitude lower compared with other studies for both nasopharyngeal and faecal samples. This may be a result of the custom S-specific primers used that are similar to NIID_WH-1_F24381.
