Quantitative reverse transcription PCR cycle threshold values over time (days after onset of illness) for whole blood, serum, urine, saliva, and vaginal mucosal swab specimens obtained from a 26-year-old woman infected with Zika virus who returned from Honduras to the United States. A cutoff value for a negative result was established at a cycle threshold of 40 (black horizontal line).
