Abstract

Paz-Bailey and colleagues (Sept. 27 issue)1 describe the dynamics of Zika virus (ZIKV) in body fluids in a cohort of participants who lived in an area where the virus was endemic and in whom ZIKV infection was detected on reverse-transcriptase–polymerase-chain-reaction assay. We are concerned about the external validity of these results.
