Kinetics of MPXV DNA shedding in different biological samples from starting of the antiviral therapy. A) MPXV DNA levels detected in different longitudinal samples are shown for the 12 MPX patients followed up during infection. B) MPXV DNA levels detected in the different type of samples: blood, oropharyngeal swabs (OPS), stool, sperm and saliva. MPXV DNA levels are expressed as cycle threshold (Ct) values. In grey are shown digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) results express as Log10 copies/µL with a detection limit of the assay of 5 copies/µL.
