Zika Virus: A Review and Clinical Updates.

Zika virus is a recent mosquito-borne threat, yet many providers have limited knowledge of the virus and its potential complications. Current research indicates that Zika infection is associated with severe neurological conditions such as Guillain-Barre syndrome and is causative of congenital microcephaly and other birth defects. Given increasing global travel, domestic endemic areas in Florida and Texas, and the virus' diverse transmission routes, medical providers across specialties need basic understanding of the disease and its potential complications, as well as understanding of current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
