blood viral load: Strictly speaking, "blood viral load" includes both plasma and cellular viral loads and is not commonly measured in clinics. Therefore, it is preferable to use the more precise terms "blood plasma viral load" or "plasma viral load." 8, record 1, English, - blood%20plasma%20viral%20load

viral load, viral burden: Widely used to refer to "blood plasma viral load", these terms can also refer to the "total body viral load" or to the "viral load" in different components of the human body. It is therefore preferable to use the more precise terms "blood plasma viral load" or "plasma viral load." 8, record 1, English, - blood%20plasma%20viral%20load

Le terme [...] charge virale plasmatique est habituellement utilisé pour désigner la virémie plasmatique[, c'est-à‑dire] la concentration de virus ou d'équivalents viraux présents dans la circulation sanguine. Elle s'exprime en copies par millilitre ou en équivalents particules (ou en équivalents génomes) par ml. C'est le reflet, imparfait, de l'activité réplicative du virus. 5, record 1, French, - charge%20virale%20plasmatique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
charge virale sanguine : Au sens strict, la «charge virale sanguine» comprend la charge virale dans le plasma sanguin et dans les cellules sanguines (et elle est rarement mesurée en clinique). Il est donc préférable d'utiliser le terme exact de «charge virale plasmatique». 6, record 1, French, - charge%20virale%20plasmatique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
charge virale : Bien que de nombreux auteurs emploient couramment «charge virale» pour désigner la «charge virale plasmatique», il est préférable d'utiliser le terme exact «charge virale plasmatique» pour éviter toute confusion avec la «charge virale» dans d'autres liquides, par exemple, la salive (charge virale salivaire), ainsi que les liquides séminal (charge virale séminale), amniotique et céphalo-rachidien. 6, record 1, French, - charge%20virale%20plasmatique
