Temporal evolution of SARS-CoV-2 mutation burden and viral loads. Panel A: patient-based analysis of the temporal evolution of SARS-CoV-2 viral loads plotted against the identification of emerging Spike gene mutations. Each mutant amino acid residue is reported. Empty circles denote the day of sample collection, whereas full circles the day of gene sequencing. Arrows indicate the days on which mutations were detected. Shaded areas denote the period characterized by clinical deterioration, whereas the treatment approach is reported in parentheses. Panel B: temporal course of the detected mutations with respect to the day of symptom onset. Abbreviation: P, patient.
