Abstract

We report an imported case of Zika fever in a traveller from Vietnam. Zika virus (ZIKV) is currently widespread in Vietnam. Ongoing transmission of ZIKV has been reported in Southeast Asia, and with frequent travel between neighbouring regions, careful surveillance for imported cases is needed.

Keywords: Asia; Southeastern; Vietnam; Zika virus infection; viral diseases.
