Leukocyte (CD45+) cell counts are significantly higher in semen from long-term shedders compared to that of short-term shedders. A, Leukocyte (CD45+), epithelial (EpCam+), and sperm cell counts in semen samples from long-term (circles) and short-term (squares) Zika virus (ZIKV) shedders. Data were subgrouped by days after onset: 14–30 days after onset (long-term, n = 7; short-term, n = 6), 31–60 days after onset (long-term, n = 17; short-term, n = 17), and 61–90 days after onset (long-term, n = 2; short-term, n = 0). Horizontal lines represent medians. B, Relationship between leukocyte cell count (log-transformed) and days after onset in long-term shedders. Line represents result of linear regression analysis. C, Relationship between leukocyte cell count (log-transformed) and ZIKV RNA copies in semen (log-transformed). Line represents result of linear regression analysis. *P < .05; ***P < .005; ****P < .001; NS, not significant.
