Fig. 1From: Correlation of cytomegalovirus viral load between whole blood and plasma of congenital cytomegalovirus infection under valganciclovir treatmentCorrelation between the levels of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in plasma and those in whole blood in congenital CMV (cCMV) patients. A All samples are plotted and analyzed (n = 276). B Samples in which CMV DNA was positive both in whole blood and in plasma are plotted and analyzed (n = 40). The levels of CMV DNA were measured using the in-house real-time PCR assay. Viral load was compared between whole blood and plasma using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficientBack to article page
