Impact of viral load on sample pooling for reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction detection-based diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 in Nigeria

Impact of viral load on sample pooling for reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction detection-based diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 in Nigeria

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic strained diagnostic testing capacities globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries like Nigeria. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) remains the gold standard for COVID-19 detection, but limited testing...
