Zika virus disease: a current review of the literature

The hidden burden of Chikungunya in central Mexico: results of a small-scale serosurvey

“…[22][23][24] Although chikungunya, dengue, and zika are similar diseases that can be misclassified on clinical grounds, the severity of symptoms facilitates recognition of chikungunya and, therefore, the proportion of unapparent infections is typically lower than that in dengue (61% to 74%) or zika (80%). [25][26][27] Almost two fifths of the seropositive participants (39.5%) in our survey reported persistent pain, limited mobility, or lasting arthralgia. Long-lasting CHKV disease is a matter of public health concern as it may Other authors have discussed poverty and low levels of education as predictors of the risk of arbovirus infections.…”

Scaring and encouraging news on diagnosis, spreading, and therapy of resistant organisms: the ECCMID 2017 in Vienna

“…They pointed out that in Zika virus infection fever and arthralgia was less frequent while conjunctivitis was observed in 57% (versus 13% in dengue and 30% in chikungunya). Looking at routine laboratory parameters, the average platelet count and liver function tests were lower in Zika virus infection [1,5].…”

What do we know about Zika virus?

“…Zasad, međutim, ne postoje podaci o širenju ZIKV-a majčinim mlijekom te se dojenje potiče i u područjima zahvaćenim ovim virusom 18 . Od svih tipova prijenosa ZIKV-a najviše se pozornosti pridaje prijenosu virusa s majke na dijete za inficiranih osoba razvije kliničke simptome bolesti i to 2 -14 dana nakon uboda komarca 2,18,25 . Simptomi i znakovi ZIKV infekcije nespecifični su i uključu-ju kratkotrajne febrilitete, do maksimalno 38,5 °C, praćene makulopapuloznim osipom uz svrbež, konjunktivitisom i artralgijom (posebice malih zglobova).…”

Drugi simptomi uključuju glavobolju, bolove u mišićima, hematospermiju, slabost, potkožna krvarenja, retroorbitalni bol i prolaznu gluhoću 25,26 . Simptomi bolesti nestaju kroz 2 -7 dana.…”

“…Biokemijski i hematološki parametri uglavnom su normalni ili pokazuju nespecifične upalne promjene (npr. blaga tranzitorna leukopenija i/ili neutropenija i/ili trombocitopenija, ubrzana sedimentacija eritrocita, povišene koncentracije gamaglutamil transpeptidaze, laktat dehidrogenaze, feritina, fibrinogena i C-reaktivnog proteina) 25 . Znakovi i simptomi ZIKV bolesti u djece ne razlikuju se od bolesti u odraslih osoba 2 .…”
