Internationally standardized respiratory viral load testing with limited resources: A derivative‐of‐care calibration strategy for SARS‐CoV‐2

SARS‐CoV‐2 has demonstrated that, in targeted circumstances, viral quantification within respiratory specimens can valuably inform patient management, as well as research. Nevertheless, the pandemic has illustrated concomitant challenges for obtaining high‐quality (and broadly comparable) respiratory viral loads. This includes a critical need for standardization and calibration, even though the necessary resources may not always be available for emergent pathogens and non‐bloodstream specimens.
