While some data have suggested a higher disease severity in infants [2, 6] , how NP viral load correlates with severity across the pediatric age spectrum has not been firmly established. For each patient, we extracted age, time from reported symptom onset to the date of test, and severity of disease during hospitalization. Our report suggests symptomatic infants have higher NP viral loads at presentation but develop less severe disease as compared to older children and adolescents.
