Figure 2.
Comparison between ZIKV 1107 and ZIKV NS5. (A) Urine and (B) blood samples were subjected to ZIKV qRT-PCR detection. Bar-charts show the number of samples which are PCR positive or negative. Using mean Ct value = 40 as cut-off, extrapolated ZIKV RNA copies are: ZIKV 1107–0.601, ZIKV NS5–1.497. (C) Overall agreement between ZIKV 1107 and ZIKV NS5 was assessed by κappa test for (C) urine and (D) blood samples. Statistical significance was measured using 2-sided Fisher exact test between the number of samples tested ZIKV positive by ZIKV 1107 or ZIKV NS5. PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value shown with 95% confidence interval.
