Ultrasound imaging for identification of cerebral damage in congenital Zika virus syndrome: a case series.

Background: Zika virus is a novel teratogenic agent associated with cerebral anomalies. Because of the challenges associated with assessment of antenatal diagnosis and prognosis in fetuses, screening for other congenital infections mostly relies on ultrasound. We aimed to assess whether a similar approach might be adequate for Zika virus congenital syndrome provided that early markers of infection and adequate timing for screening are established.

Pregnancy Outcomes after ZIKV Infection in French Territories in the Americas.

Background: The risk of congenital neurologic defects related to Zika virus (ZIKV) infection has ranged from 6 to 42% in various reports. The aim of this study was to estimate this risk among pregnant women with symptomatic ZIKV infection in French territories in the Americas.

Methods: From March 2016 through November 2016, we enrolled in this prospective cohort study pregnant women with symptomatic ZIKV infection that was confirmed by polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) assay.

Use and representations of intrauterine device in Martinique, F.W.I.: A cross-sectional survey.

Introduction: Abortion rate is higher in Martinique than in metropolitan France. Difference in pattern of contraception may be involved, particularly regarding IUD use. IUD use is often hampered by misconceptions.

Knowledge, attitudes and practices of pregnant women in Martinique in the immediate aftermath of the Zika virus outbreak.

Introduction: The WHO and the HCSP recognize the Zika virus as a public health problem of international concern primarily because of the foetal risks. During the epidemic in Martinique, several modifications to the normal obstetrical follow-up were set up and information had to be delivered to pregnant women about these modifications, the attitudes to prevent infection and the signs motivating additional visits. The objective of our work was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices of pregnant women in Martinique about the risks associated with Zika infection during pregnancy in the immediate aftermath of the epidemic.
