Abstract:
We report on the first case of congenital Zika syndrome to be identified during the COVID-19 pandemic in Puerto Rico. The Zika virus (ZIKV) infection was first seen in Puerto Rico in December 2015. It is a flavivirus with vertical transmission, spreading from infected mothers to their fetuses and having a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, of which microcephaly is the most worrisome. In Puerto Rico, routine ZIKV screening during pregnancy was implemented in October 2016. However, this practice has become less frequent over time. Nevertheless, the transmission of ZIKV continues, so it is important to ensure routine ZIKV screening in endemic regions, such as Puerto Rico.
摘要:
我们报道了在波多黎各COVID-19大流行期间发现的首例先天性寨卡综合症。寨卡病毒(ZIKV)感染于2015年12月在波多黎各首次出现。这是一种垂直传播的黄病毒,从感染的母亲传播到胎儿,并具有广泛的临床表现,其中小头畸形是最令人担忧的。在波多黎各,2016年10月实施孕期常规ZIKV筛查.然而,随着时间的推移,这种做法变得不那么频繁了。然而,ZIKV的传播仍在继续,所以重要的是要确保在流行地区进行常规的ZIKV筛查,比如波多黎各。
