PCR test results are often expressed
in logarithm
format; this is likely the ‘
LOG’ number you’re seeing— it’s an easier way to handle large numbers. Expressed numerically, this value equals 2,852,000; and it’s also likely they are using IU/mL.
2,852,000 IU/mL is a rather viral load; but as mentioned above, doesn’t necessarily correlate with disease progression or severity.
