Figure

Detection of Zika virus RNA in human biological specimens from 8 patients, according to Ct and days after disease onset. Patient identification numbers above charts correspond to numbers in the Table. Horizontal dashes lines indicate real-time reverse transcription PCR cutoff Ct of 38. Disease onset is day 0 (screening visit), defined after interviewing patients about symptoms. Ct, cycle threshold.
