Figure 1 Selection of patients with West Nile virus infection and clinical samples.
Samples in gray shadowed boxes were analyzed in the study. CSF: Cerebrospinal fluid; IgG: Immunoglobulin G; IgM: Immunoglobulin M; NID: Neuroinvasive disease; RT-PCR: Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction; TBEV: Tick-borne encephalitis virus; USUV: Usutu virus; WNV: West Nile virus.
Figure 2 Detection rate of West Nile virus RNA by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.
CSF: Cerebrospinal fluid; N: Total sample number.
Figure 3 West Nile virus reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction cycle threshold values in different clinical samples.
Plots represent medians with interquartile ranges, inner and outlier points. CSF: Cerebrospinal fluid; Ct: Cycle threshold.
Figure 4 West Nile virus immunoglobulin M and immunoglobulin G detection rates in serum and cerebrospinal fluid.
CSF: Cerebrospinal fluid; Ig: Immunoglobulin; N: Total sample number.
Figure 5 Immunoglobulin M antibody levels in patients with confirmed West Nile virus infection and false positive samples.
Plots represent medians with interquartile ranges, inner and outlier points. IgM: Immunoglobulin M; WNV: West Nile virus.
Figure 6 Cross-reactive flavivirus immunoglobulin M immunoglobulin G antibodies detected in patients with West Nile virus infections.
IgG: Immunoglobulin G; IgM: Immunoglobulin M; NT: Not tested; TBEV: Tick-borne encephalitis virus; USUV: Usutu virus; WNV: West Nile virus.
Figure 7 Correlation of immunoglobulin G avidity.
A: Immunoglobulin M antibody levels; B: Immunoglobulin G antibody levels. Blue dotted lines represent trendlines. IgG: Immunoglobulin G; IgM: Immunoglobulin M.
