Figure 2 Zika virus viral load (Zika virus RNA Log copies per mL) in the fluids studied for all 15 patients According to the seminal viral load, three patterns were identified: (A) non-shedding patients (patients 1, 7, 12, 14); (B) seminal shedders with concomitant blood, urines shedding, or both (patients 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10); (C) long-term seminal shedding patients discordant with urine or blood shedding (patients 5, 6, 11, 13, 15). The dotted line represents the detection limit of the kit (2·48 log copies per mL). The Lancet Infectious Diseases , DOI: ( /S (17) ) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions
