[TD="width: 50%"]Overview:

Zika virus infection during pregnancy is a cause of microcephaly and other severe fetal brain defects; however, the full spectrum of infant outcomes is not yet known. CDC has updated its interim guidance for U.S. healthcare providers caring for infants born to mothers with possible Zika virus infection during pregnancy.​

During this COCA Call, clinicians will learn about these updated interim clinical guidelines, which include evaluation and management recommendations. This information can help pediatric healthcare providers better understand the appropriate tests and clinical approaches for evaluating and managing infants, born to mothers in the United States and its territories, with laboratory evidence of Zika virus infection.​

Objectives

• Interpret revised testing guidance for newborns with possible congenital Zika virus infection.​

• Discuss clinical evaluation of infants born to mothers with laboratory evidence of Zika virus infection.​

• Outline outpatient management of infants with laboratory evidence of congenital Zika virus infection with and without abnormalities consistent with congenital Zika syndrome.​
