Zika virus RNA [Presence] in Blood by NAA with probe detection

ZIKV RNA Bld Ql NAA+probe

Definition

Zika virus RNA may be detected in whole blood specimens for a longer time period after symptom onset compared to serum or plasma, and the detection rate for whole blood is similar to that in urine specimens 10 or more days after symptom onset. In contrast, the virus is detectable earlier in serum or plasma specimens compared to whole blood. A longer period of detection in whole blood has also been reported for other Flaviviruses including West Nile virus and Dengue virus. [PMID: 28648495]
