Overview
Patients who are exposed to Zika virus will develop symptoms 3 and 12 days after contracting the disease. Symptoms will typically begin with a mild headache and fever, then progress to include a maculopapular rash spreading across the body within 24 hours, followed by back pain and conjunctivitis. The symptoms typically last between 4 and 7 days. The prognosis is usually excellent, with the majority of patients recovering fully. Complications include neurological and possibly congenital sequelae, particularly Guillain-Barré syndrome and microcephaly. According to WHO, ZIKV infection during pregnancy is the cause of congenital brain abnormalities including microcephaly.
Natural History
- The symptoms of Zika virus infection usually develop between 3 and 12 days after an individual contracts the disease.[1]
- Zika virus infection symptoms will usually begin with a mild headache and fever. Within 24 hours, symptoms progress to include a maculopapular rash across the face, neck, trunk, upper arms, palms, and soles, malaise, and back pain follow shortly.[2]
- Zika virus infection is usually self-limited, and symptoms typically last 4-7 days.[1]
- Once a person has been infected, he or she is likely to be protected from future infections.
Complications
Complications that may develop from Zika virus infection include neurological disease and possibly congenital malformation:[3]
Infected males and non-pregnant women
Pregnant Women
Neonate
- Congenital microcephaly[5]
- Eye disorders[5]
- Brain lesions
- Brainstem dysfunction
- Other neurologic disorders include:[6]
- Brainstem and cerebellar hypoplasia
- Malformations of the head
- Involuntary movements
- Seizures
- Irritability
- Brainstem dysfunctions such as difficulty in swallowing
- Limb contractures
- Hearing and sight abnormalities
- Delayed myelination
- Severe ventriculomegaly
- Lissencephaly (absence of normal cerebral folds)
Prognosis
- The prognosis for Zika virus infection is excellent, with the majority of patients experiencing full recovery within 4-7 days after symptom manifestation.[1]
- Congenital or neurological sequelae are the main factors of poor prognosis.[3]
- Zika virus-related deaths are uncommon, but several deaths have been reported during outbreaks.
