Serum specimens taken on days 2 and 6 were positive for chikungunya virus RNA by in-house reverse transcription (RT)-PCR at the Public Health Laboratory Service (PHLS) (targeting the nonstructural protein-1 [NSP-1] gene) and PWH laboratory (targeting both NSP-1 and the envelope glycoprotein [E1] gene). The most striking finding from the cytokine analysis (Table) is the high level of interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-inducible protein-10 (IP-10/CXCL-10), up to 26 and 16 times the upper limit of the normal range at days 2 and 6 after disease onset, respectively. In severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) (4, 5) and H5N1 influenza (6) infections, very high blood levels of CXCL10 and moderately high CCL2, CXCL9, and CXCL8 concentrations, or their enhanced expressions in vitro, have been reported. ./cache/cord-308142-3x3n6cpt.txt ./txt/cord-308142-3x3n6cpt.txt
