2016年1月，一名30岁出头的男子报告称，在海地逗留期间有发烧、虚弱和红斑疹的病史。在他返回意大利时，在症状出现91天后的尿液和唾液中检测到ZIKV RNA，并在症状出现6个月后的第188天在他的精液中检测到ZIKV RNA。我们的发现支持ZIKV经性传播的可能性，并强调了继续调查非媒介传播ZIKV感染的重要性。
A man in his early 30s reported in January 2016 a history of fever, asthenia and erythematous rash during a stay in Haiti. On his return to Italy, ZIKV RNA was detected in his urine and saliva 91 days after symptom onset, and in his semen on day 188, six months after symptom onset. Our findings support the possibility of sexual transmission of ZIKV and highlight the importance of continuing to investigate non-vector-borne ZIKV infection.
