摘要
Dual-primer PCR using quantitative measurement of swine 'flu and human pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) was performed on 100 nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) specimens to attain values of viral genome copy per human epithelial cell. Forty-two patients had accessible clinical details, and a study was made of the correlation of viral genome concentration with severity of clinical illness and biochemical markers of inflammation. No statistically significant correlations were found, although trends were observed with higher concentration values in mild illness. This may represent high numbers of virions prevented from migrating to the lower respiratory tract of patients with only mild disease.
