Zika Virus Protecting Pregnant Women and Babies   April 5, 2017   Educate. Ask. Support. [PDF, 3 MB, 4 Pages] Zika virus infection (Zika) during pregnancy can cause damage to the brain, microcephaly, and congenital Zika syndrome, a pattern of conditions in the baby that includes brain abnormalities, eye defects, hearing loss, and limb defects. Pregnant women can protect their babies from these Zika-related health conditions by not traveling to areas with Zika. Men and women who live in or travel to an area with Zika can prevent infection by avoiding mosquito bites and using condoms during sex. Key points include: 44 states reported cases of pregnant women with evidence of Zika in 2016. Most were travel-associated. About 1 in 10 pregnant women with confirmed Zika had a fetus or baby with birth defects. Only 1 in 4 babies with possible congenital Zika were reported to have received brain imaging after birth. Video: April 2017 Vital Signs -- Zika Virus: Protecting Pregnant Women and Babies   About 1 in 10 pregnant women with confirmed Zika had a fetus or baby with birth defects.   Vital Signs is a monthly report that appears as part of the CDC journal, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
