ABSTRACT

Introduction: The Zika virus belongs to the Flaviviridae family, is spherical in appearance and although the reservoir is not known, monkeys and some rodents are suspected. This virus traditionally circulated only in cycles or African areas and in parts of Southeast Asia and before 2007 only 14 human cases were known. In the last decade, its expansion has been considerable in diverse regions causing epidemic outbreaks as in America, where it is speculated that it is most likely to become an endemic disease.
Objective: To document the signs and symptoms of a group of pregnant women infected with the Zika virus.
Methods: We studied the medical records of 49 patients admitted during the period April 2016-April 2017 in a hospital located in the southeast region of Mexico. The infection was corroborated by Polymerase in real time and the signs and symptoms were recorded taking into account the trimester of pregnancy. The relationship of the clinical picture with the quarter was evaluated with the Chi-square test.
Results: The records indicated characteristic signs and symptoms such as fever, headache, rash and pruritus. Others are documented less frequently, a zygote detachment, a spontaneous abortion and a newborn with hearing loss. It was not possible to establish a relationship between symptoms and signs with the trimester of pregnancy (p = 0.8922).
Conclusions: Zika virus infection in pregnant women can lead to problems in the proper development of the fetus. In addition, nonspecific symptoms could hinder their timely diagnosis.
