Zika fever (also known as Zika virus
disease) is an illness caused by Zika
virus.[71] Most cases have no symptoms,
but when present they are usually mild
and can resemble dengue fever.[71][72]
Symptoms may include fever, red eyes,
joint pain, headache, and a maculopapular
rash.[71][73][74] Symptoms generally last
less than seven days.[73] It has not
caused any reported deaths during the
initial infection.[72] Infection during
pregnancy causes microcephaly and other
brain malformations in some babies.[7][8]
Infection in adults has been linked to
Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) and Zika
virus has been shown to infect human
Schwann cells.[75][72]
Diagnosis is by testing the blood, urine, or
saliva for the presence of Zika virus RNA
when the person is sick.[71][73]
Prevention involves decreasing mosquito
bites in areas where the disease occurs,
and proper use of condoms.[73][76]
Efforts to prevent bites include the use of
insect repellent, covering much of the
body with clothing, mosquito nets, and
getting rid of standing water where
mosquitoes reproduce.[71] There is no
vaccine.[73] Health officials recommended
that women in areas affected by the
2015–16 Zika outbreak consider putting
off pregnancy and that pregnant women
not travel to these areas.[73][77] While no
specific treatment exists, paracetamol
(acetaminophen) and rest may help with
the symptoms.[73] Admission to a
hospital is rarely necessary.[72]
