ABSTRACT

Objective: Describe ocular findings in newborns of women with Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during gestation. Materials and Methods: From November 2016 to March 2017, 26 newborns of women with ZIKV infection, confirmed with a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test, were examined at the Ophthalmology Department of a General Hospital belonging to the Mexican Institute of Social Security in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. Results: Maternal gestational age at the time of ZIKV diagnosis averaged 29.1 ± 6.9 weeks (95% confidence interval 26.3-31.9). One case (3.8%) was diagnosed during the first trimester and 15 cases (57.7%) during the third trimester of gestation. 16 newborns (61.5%) were male. Neither microcephaly nor abnormal ocular abnormalities were found in any newborn. Conclusions: No microcephaly or ocular abnormalities were found in our case series, perhaps due to previous antigenic exposure to flavivirus diseases such as dengue in the Yucatan Peninsula, to infection mostly during the third trimester, or to the short period of time that the ZIKV has been in our country. Nonetheless, ophthalmologists should be aware of the possible ophthalmological complications associated with ZIKV.
