Long-Term Viruria in Zika Virus-Infected Pregnant Women, Brazil, 2016

Ana Carolina B Terzian et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2017 Nov.

Abstract

During the 2016 Zika virus outbreak in Brazil, we detected Zika virus RNA in urine samples collected from Zika virus-positive pregnant women during different stages of pregnancy. Women had positive and negative intervals of viruria; 3 newborns had adverse outcomes. Further research is needed to clarify the relationship between viruria and outcomes for newborns.

Keywords: Brazil; Zika; Zika virus; flavivirus; newborns; outcomes in newborns; pregnancy; pregnant women; urine; vector-borne infections; viruria; viruses.
