寨卡病毒(ZIKV)病是由伊蚊传播的病毒引起的。它表现为流感样症状,持续5-7天,并显示与神经和自身免疫并发症的潜在关联,如先天性小头畸形和成人瘫痪疾病,格林-巴利综合征.治疗措施是保守的,因为该疾病是自限性的。从1951年到2006年,ZIKV早些时候影响了非洲和亚洲的几个热带地区。随后,它从这些地区迁出,在雅浦岛爆发,法属波利尼西亚,南美洲,最近在巴西。世卫组织在2016年宣布这是国际突发公共卫生事件,也是一次非同寻常的事件,提出了改善沟通的建议。加强对ZIKV感染的警惕,并改善灭蚊措施。本文的作者旨在简要讨论ZIKV感染,它的流行病学,临床表现,管理,和预防。
Zika virus (ZIKV) disease is caused by a virus transmitted by Aedes mosquito. It presents as flu-like symptoms lasting for 5-7 days and shows potential association with neurological and autoimmune complications such as congenital microcephaly and adult paralysis disorder, Guillain-Barré syndrome. Treatment measures are conservative as the disease is self-limiting. ZIKV earlier affected several tropical regions of Africa and Asia from 1951 to 2006. Subsequently, it moved out from these regions to land as outbreaks in Yap Island, French Polynesia, South America, and most recently in Brazil. The WHO declared it as an international public health emergency in 2016 and an extraordinary event with recommendations for improving communications, tightening vigil on ZIKV infections, and improving mosquito control measures. The authors in this article aim to briefly discuss ZIKV infection, its epidemiology, clinical manifestations, management, and prevention.
