Study to examine effects of Zika infection in Guatemalan infants and childrenNIH-funded study will characterize outcomes of infection acquired after birth. Most people with Zika virus infection have no symptoms or only a mild illness. For more information about NIAID's Zika virus research, please see our Zika web page. These observations indicate that Zika virus infection has the potential to affect early brain development, but the full spectrum of possible consequences is not yet known. In addition, a continuing University of Colorado surveillance study characterizing the incidence and pattern of dengue virus in children in the study area (southwestern Guatemala) has confirmed active Zika virus transmission and high Zika virus infection rates in children with fever.

Most people with Zika virus infection have no symptoms or only a mild illness. In addition, a continuing University of Colorado surveillance study characterizing the incidence and pattern of dengue virus in children in the study area (southwestern Guatemala) has confirmed active Zika virus transmission and high Zika virus infection rates in children with fever. A large natural history study examining the neurologic, neurodevelopmental and other clinical outcomes of Zika virus infection in infants and young children has begun in rural Guatemala. For more information about NIAID's Zika virus research, please see the government's Zika web page. These observations indicate that Zika virus infection has the potential to affect early brain development, but the full spectrum of possible consequences is not yet known.collected by :Lucy William
