Figure 2

EV-D68 RNA shedding curve (A) and associated symptoms (B) for all EV-D68–positive participants (n = 14), Colorado, USA. A) Dotted line on Kaplan-Meier curve represents 95% CI. The + mark indicates the time at which 1 participant was censored at the last day of inpatient collection because they did not report dates of home testing. B) Number of participants reporting the symptom at any time is indicated. Black dots represent the median onset and median offset time for each symptom; solid horizontal line represents the duration between median onset and median offset time. The double vertical hash lines represent the 25th and 75th quartile for onset time, and the single vertical hash lines represent the 25th and 75th quartile for offset time. Symptoms on standardized list were abdominal pain, back pain, cough, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, difficulty walking, facial droop/weakness, fever, headache, muscle jerks/tremors, nausea/vomiting, neck pain, pain in arms/legs, runny nose/nasal congestion, sore throat, vision changes, weakness in arms/legs, and wheezing. EV, enterovirus.
