Abstract |
Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is an emerging global health concern, and diagnostic recommendations are currently developing based on new information. Several case or small sample size studies using both urine and blood samples suggest that ZIKV RNA can be detected at higher levels and for a longer time after onset of infection in urine compared to blood. We recommend that urine and serum collection for molecular testing be a standard part of evaluating patients for ZIKV infection, and that urine is a good alternative testing sample when blood collection is problematic. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 May 2017.
All research outputs
#6,717,345
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Geriatric Nephrology and Urology
#311
of 1,493 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#97,765
of 349,680 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Geriatric Nephrology and Urology
#5
of 24 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,493 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 349,680 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 24 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
