Viremia and hypercytokinemia in the RVF patient. (A) The Ct values are based on the RVFV-specific RT-PCR tests by using the blood collected daily from the patient. (B–L). The longitudinal test of the cytokine and chemokine levels in the plasma from the patient. The daily cytokines and chemokines values are listed in Supplementary Table S1. hepatocyte growth factor, HGF; tumour necrosis factor, TNF; platelet-derived growth factor, PDGF; interferon gamma-induced protein 10, IP10; stem cell growth factor, SCGF-β interleukin, IL; monocyte chemoattractant protein, MCP; macrophage colony-stimulating factor, M-CSF; growth-regulated oncogene, GRO; IL-1 receptor antagonist, IL-1Ra; interferon-gamma, IFN-γ. The concentration of IP10 on day 7 was greater than the highest concentration in the standard curve. Thus, in the 3E, we used the highest point of standard curve (13518.8 pg/mL) as the IP10 concentration on day 7.
