Article Synopsis
- Salvador was significantly impacted during the 2015 Zika virus outbreak, prompting a study involving parturients (pregnant women) and their newborns.
- The study found that 6.9% of parturients tested positive for Zika virus (ZIKV), with higher rates of exposure to dengue (DENV) and Chikungunya (CHIKV) reflected in antibody tests.
- The results emphasized the importance of prenatal and neonatal screening for ZIKV and CHIKV due to the occurrence of congenital infections observed in 16.5% of newborns for ZIKV and 13% for CHIKV.
