Scatterplot of outcome by cycle threshold (Ct) at time of first Ebola virus–positive test result and time to admission at any healthcare facility (primary cohort, n = 151), Bo District, Sierra Leone, September 2014–January 2015. Each circle represents an infected person. The dashed line indicates the classification threshold of the Ct value of 24. Observations are slightly horizontally jittered to reduce overplotting.
