我们描述了一名 40 岁出头男性的寨卡病毒 (ZIKV) 感染动态，该男子于 2016 年 1 月从海地返回意大利后出现发烧和皮疹。后续实验室测试表明，在症状出现后第 9 天的血浆中以及第 15 天和第 47 天的尿液和唾液中分别可检测到 ZIKV RNA。值得注意的是，ZIKV RNA 在精液中持续脱落，在发病 181 天后仍可检测到。
We describe the dynamics of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in a man in his early 40s who developed fever and rash after returning from Haiti to Italy, in January 2016. Follow-up laboratory testing demonstrated detectable ZIKV RNA in plasma up to day 9 after symptom onset and in urine and saliva up to days 15 and 47, respectively. Notably, persistent shedding of ZIKV RNA was demonstrated in semen, still detectable at 181 days after onset.
