Estimating incubation period with multiple contact days.

Wilson Ws Tam1, Tze Wai Wong.   

Abstract

Multiple contacts with the infectious source may cause inconsistencies in determining the incubation period of a patient and hence the calculation of the mean and variance of the incubation period. A method based on probability distribution to deal with the problem is presented and an example is given for illustration.
