Introduction: Understanding how RNA viral load changes (viral load kinetics) during acute infection in SARS-CoV-2 can help to identify when and which patients are most infectious. We seek to summarise existing data on the longitudinal RNA viral load kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 sampled from different parts of the respiratory tract (nose, nasopharynx, oropharynx, saliva and exhaled breath) and how this may vary with age, sex, ethnicity, immune status, disease severity, vaccination, treatment and virus variant.
Methods And Analysis: We will conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis, using studies identified through MEDLINE and EMBASE (via Ovid).
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of receiving the inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) and SARS-CoV-2 vaccine at the same time compared to getting them separately among healthcare workers.
- Results showed that those who received both vaccines together had a lower rise in SARS-CoV-2 antibodies 1 month after vaccination, although this difference was not significant after 6 months.
- Overall, the concomitant vaccination did not seem to significantly affect the long-term immune response, suggesting that more research is needed to clarify these findings.
Article Synopsis
- Study Objective
- : The research evaluated the effectiveness of facemask sampling (FMS) to detect SARS-CoV-2 in vaccinated individuals during a mock PACES examination in Leicester, UK.
- Methodology and Results
- : Thirty-four participants wore modified facemasks capable of capturing exhaled virus and provided upper respiratory tract samples. Only one participant tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 via URTS, but not through FMS, indicating no transmission to others.
- Participant Feedback
- : Most participants found FMS acceptable, but 69% believed that a positive FMS result alone was not enough for a definitive diagnosis. The study suggests that FMS is a viable method for identifying infectious individuals
