We describe the dynamics of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in a man in his early 40s who developed fever and rash after returning from Haiti to Italy, in January 2016. Follow-up laboratory testing demonstrated detectable ZIKV RNA in plasma up to day 9 after symptom onset and in urine and saliva up to days 15 and 47, respectively. Notably, persistent shedding of ZIKV RNA was demonstrated in semen, still detectable at 181 days after onset.
我们描述了一名40岁出头男性的寨卡病毒(ZIKV)感染动态,该男子于2016年1月从海地返回意大利后出现发热和皮疹。后续实验室检测显示,症状出现后第9天血浆中可检测到ZIKV RNA,尿液和唾液中分别在第15天和第47天可检测到。值得注意的是,精液中证实存在ZIKV RNA持续脱落,发病后181天仍可检测到。
