Sažetak. Zika virus (ZIKV) pripadnik je porodice Flaviviridae. Širi se ubodom inficiranog komarca roda Aedes, spolnim putem, s majke na fetus, te iznimno direktnim krvnim prijenosom. ZIKV uzrokuje blagu kliničku sliku, popraćenu nespecifičnim simptomima, a liječenje je simptomatsko. ZIKV se dijagnosticira pomoću molekularnih i seroloških metoda. Infekcija se povezuje s pojavom mikrocefalije u novorođenčadi inficiranih majki te s povećanim rizikom od pojave Guillain-Barréova sindroma. Mjere prevencije infekcije uključuju minimiziranje kontakta s komarcima, prakticiranje sigurnih spolnih odnosa i kontrolu darovane krvi prije transfuzije. Ne postoji djelotvorno cjepivo protiv ZIKV-a, ali nekoliko cjepiva u fazi je ispitivanja.Ključne riječi: Guillain-Barréov sindrom; mikrocefalija; zika virus Abstract. Zika virus is a member of the Flaviviridaefamily. It is primarily spread via infectedAedesmosquitoes, sexual contact, and from the mother to the foetus, while direct transmission by blood is exceptional. ZIKV causes a mild illness characterized by non-specific symptoms. Treatment is limited to symptomatic therapy. ZIKV is diagnosedusingmolecular or serologic methods. ZIKV infection is associated with microcephaly of infants borntoinfected mothers and an increased risk of Guillain-Barrésyndrome. Prevention measures include minimizing contact with mosquitoes, practising safe sex and control of donated blood. There are no ZIKV vaccines, but several are undergoing trials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
