Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

To evaluate the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 genome in patients with asymptomatic and moderately symptomatic COVID19.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Diagnostic Test: conjunctival swab
N/A

Detailed Description

Patients attending to the COVID19 screening facility of Paris South University hospital and willing to participate to the study will have both nasopharyngeal and conjunctival swab for SARS-CV-2 genome detection using PCR. The project will evaluate the prevalence of positive conjunctival swabs in patients with positive nasopharyngeal swab. These results will be corelated to symptoms of disease assessed with a standardized questionnaire.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. presence of SARS-CoV-2 genome in tears [at the end of the study, an average of 1 year]

    Prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 genome in tears

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. presence of systemic symptoms evaluated at the time of making an appointment by a systematic standardized interrogation [at the end of the study, an average of 1 year]

    correlation between systemic symptoms (fever, chills, sweating, muscle aches, headache, runny or stuffy nose, cough, sore throat, asthenia, anosmia, agueusia, unusual shortness of breath, skin rash diarrhea, nausea vomiting) and positive conjunctival swab

  2. assessement of viral load levels [at the end of the study, an average of 1 year]

    correlation between nasopharyngeal viral load and conjunctival load (indirectly assessed with cycle thresholds quantification method)
