a Nasopharyngeal (NP) viral load (copies/mL, log10) and (b) oropharyngeal (OP) viral load (copies/mL, log10) were measured by qPCR at enrollment and compared among patients classified as moderate (WHO score 3–4), severe (WHO score 5–7), or deceased (WHO score 8). c The Spearman correlation between OP and NP viral loads at enrollment. d–i Concentrations (pg/ml) of several proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines that differed among COVID-19 hospitalized patients classified as moderate, severe, or deceased. Data are presented as means with standard deviations, indicated by error bars. p-values for statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) by Welch’s ANOVA are shown in the figures.
