cord-345168-3w32v2fm	To, Kelvin K.W.	Viral load in patients infected with pandemic H1N1 2009 influenza A virus	2009-11-30		.txt	text/plain	3774	202	48	Comparison was made between patients with pandemic H1N1 virus and seasonal influenza virus infection regarding their demographics, underlying diseases, presenting symptoms, total white blood cell counts, absolute lymphocyte counts, and initial pre-treatment viral load in respiratory specimens on the day of diagnosis. Among patients with pandemic H1N1 virus infection, the same parameters was compared between those with longer duration (!5 days) and shorter duration ( 4 days) of viral shedding, as defined by the time from onset of symptoms to the last positive sample by RT-PCR. For both pandemic H1N1 cases and seasonal influenza historical controls, respiratory specimens collected on the day of onset of symptoms (day 0) had the highest mean viral load (Fig. 1 ). For patients who presented to hospital between days 0 and 3 after onset of symptoms, the initial pre-treatment viral load in pandemic H1N1 cases was lower than the seasonal influenza historical controls.	./cache/cord-345168-3w32v2fm.txt	./txt/cord-345168-3w32v2fm.txt
