Figure 1

Viral loads for Ebola virus disease patients infected with Sudan virus during outbreak in Uganda, 2000–2001. A) Relative TCID50, of pediatric patients (1–21 years of age) compared with those of adult patients (22–60 years of age); B) fatal and nonfatal outcomes for pediatric versus adult patients. Viral load determination was performed on all samples and quantitated by a reverse transcription PCR curve generated from a known titer stock of Sudan virus. TCID50, 50% tissue culture infective dose.
