About These Numbers
What these updated numbers show
- These updated numbers reflect counts of pregnant women in the United States with any laboratory evidence of possible Zika virus infection, with or without symptoms. Pregnant women with laboratory evidence include those in whom viral particles have been detected and those with evidence of an immune reaction to a recent virus that is likely to be Zika.
- This information will help healthcare providers as they counsel pregnant women affected by Zika and is essential for planning at the federal, state, and local levels for clinical, public health, and other services needed to support pregnant women and families affected by Zika.
- These new numbers are not comparable to the previous reports. These updated numbers reflect a different, broader population of pregnant women.
- These updated numbers are not real time estimates. They will reflect the number of pregnant women reported with any laboratory evidence of possible Zika virus infection as of 12 noon every Thursday the week prior; numbers will be delayed one week.
