| Interim Guidelines for Pregnant Women During a Zika Virus Outbreak — United States, 2016 Emily E. Petersen, MD; J. Erin Staples, MD, PhD; Dana Meaney-Delman, MD, et al. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2016;65(Early Release):1–4 Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus transmitted primarily by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The incidence of Zika virus infection in pregnant women is not currently known, and data on pregnant women infected with Zika virus are limited. Zika virus infections have been confirmed in infants with microcephaly, and in the current outbreak in Brazil, a marked increase in the number of infants born with microcephaly has been reported. Because there is neither a vaccine nor prophylactic medications available to prevent Zika virus infection, CDC recommends that all pregnant women consider postponing travel to areas where Zika virus transmission is ongoing. |
