Figure 1.
Time kinetics of viral presence in relationship with resolution of symptoms. Day 0 (D0) is the first day of symptoms, whereas the blue dots indicate the resolution of symptoms. The first orange box represents the day of first positive viral detection, and the last orange box indicates the day of first negative viral quantitative PCR. F = first time point at which laboratory blood tests were conducted during the hospitalization; L = last time point at which laboratory blood tests were conducted during the hospitalization.
