Article Synopsis
- The rapid spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) in South America prompts concerns, but there's limited information on how long the virus and antibodies last in patients.
- A study tracked ZIKV levels and anti-ZIKV IgG and IgM antibodies in two patients returning from Martinique, finding ZIKV detectable in plasma for about two weeks, with urine samples remaining positive even longer.
- Both patients showed different antibody responses, but the quick rise of IgM antibodies enabled diagnosis by the end of the first week.
