Identification of the first human infection case with monkey B virus by rtPCR. (A) The rtPCR test result for BV; (B) The rtPCR test result for VZV; (C) The rtPCR test result for monkeypox virus; (D) The rtPCR test result for orthopoxvirus.

Note: For (A)–(D), rtPCR detections targeting to various virus in the 11 specimens collected from the patient (CSF, blister fluid, blood, airway aspirates, nasal swab) and 2 close contacts (throat swab, blister fluid and plasma). Each line represents a specimen, red lines represent positive controls or positive specimens, and green lines represent negative specimens. Abbrevations: CSF=cerebrospinal fluid, rtPCR=real-time polymerase chain reaction, BV=B virus, VZV=varicella zoster virus.
