  • Update: Interim Guidance for Preconception Counseling and Prevention of Sexual Transmission of Zika Virus for Men with Possible Zika Virus Exposure - United States, August 2018.
    MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report, 2018
    Co-Authors: Kara D Polen, Suzanne M Gilboa, Susan Hills, Katrin S Kohl, Regina M Simeone, Allison T Walker, Titilope Oduyebo, Artur Adamski, John T Brooks, Dmitry M. Kissin
    Abstract:

    Zika Virus infection can occur as a result of mosquitoborne or sexual transmission of the Virus. Infection during pregnancy is a cause of fetal brain abnormalities and other serious birth defects (1,2). CDC has updated the interim guidance for men with possible Zika Virus exposure who 1) are planning to conceive with their partner, or 2) want to prevent sexual transmission of Zika Virus at any time (3). CDC now recommends that men with possible Zika Virus exposure who are planning to conceive with their partner wait for at least 3 months after symptom onset (if symptomatic) or their last possible Zika Virus exposure (if asymptomatic) before engaging in unprotected sex. CDC now also recommends that for couples who are not trying to conceive, men can consider using condoms or abstaining from sex for at least 3 months after symptom onset (if symptomatic) or their last possible Zika Virus exposure (if asymptomatic) to minimize their risk for sexual transmission of Zika Virus. All other guidance for Zika Virus remains unchanged. The definition of possible Zika Virus exposure remains unchanged and includes travel to or residence in an area with risk for Zika Virus transmission (https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/world-map-areas-with-Zika) or sex without a condom with a partner who traveled to or lives in an area with risk for Zika Virus transmission. CDC will continue to update recommendations as new information becomes available.

  • Zika Virus: Common Questions and Answers.
    American Family Physician, 2017
    Co-Authors: Irogue I. Igbinosa, Titilope Oduyebo, Ingrid B Rabe, Sonja A Rasmussen
    Abstract:

    Since local mosquito-borne transmission of Zika Virus was first reported in Brazil in early 2015, the Virus has spread rapidly, with active transmission reported in at least 61 countries and territories worldwide, including the United States. Zika Virus infection during pregnancy is a cause of microcephaly and other severe brain anomalies. The Virus is transmitted primarily through the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito, but other routes of transmission include sexual, mother-to-fetus during pregnancy, mother-to-infant at delivery, laboratory exposure, and, possibly, transfusion of blood products. Most persons with Zika Virus infection are asymptomatic or have only mild symptoms; hospitalizations and deaths are rare. When symptoms are present, maculopapular rash, fever, arthralgia, and conjunctivitis are most common. Zika Virus testing is recommended for persons with possible exposure (those who have traveled to or live in an area with active transmission, or persons who had sex without a condom with a person with possible exposure) if they have symptoms consistent with Zika Virus disease. Testing is also recommended for pregnant women with possible exposure, regardless of whether symptoms are present. Treatment is supportive, and no vaccine is currently available. The primary methods of prevention include avoiding bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes and reducing the risk of sexual transmission. Pregnant women should not travel to areas with active Zika Virus transmission, and men and women who are planning to conceive in the near future should consider avoiding nonessential travel to these areas. Condoms can reduce the risk of sexual transmission.

  • Update: Interim Guidance for Preconception Counseling and Prevention of Sexual Transmission of Zika Virus for Persons with Possible Zika Virus Exposure — United States, September 2016
    Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, 2016
    Co-Authors: Emily E Petersen, Susan Hills, Robyn Neblett-fanfair, Fiona Havers, Julia Abercrombie, Dana Meaney-delman, Titilope Oduyebo, Ingrid B Rabe, Amy J Lambert, Stacey W Martin
    Abstract:

    CDC has updated its interim guidance for persons with possible Zika Virus exposure who are planning to conceive (1) and interim guidance to prevent transmission of Zika Virus through sexual contact (2), now combined into a single document. Guidance for care for pregnant women with possible Zika Virus exposure was previously published (3). Possible Zika Virus exposure is defined as travel to or residence in an area of active Zika Virus transmission (http://www.cdc.gov/Zika/geo/index.html), or sex* without a condom† with a partner who traveled to or lived in an area of active transmission. Based on new though limited data, CDC now recommends that all men with possible Zika Virus exposure who are considering attempting conception with their partner, regardless of symptom status,§ wait to conceive until at least 6 months after symptom onset (if symptomatic) or last possible Zika Virus exposure (if asymptomatic). Recommendations for women planning to conceive remain unchanged: women with possible Zika Virus exposure are recommended to wait to conceive until at least 8 weeks after symptom onset (if symptomatic) or last possible Zika Virus exposure (if asymptomatic). Couples with possible Zika Virus exposure, who are not pregnant and do not plan to become pregnant, who want to minimize their risk for sexual transmission of Zika Virus should use a condom or abstain from sex for the same periods for men and women described above. Women of reproductive age who have had or anticipate future Zika Virus exposure who do not want to become pregnant should use the most effective contraceptive method that can be used correctly and consistently. These recommendations will be further updated when additional data become available.

  • prolonged detection of Zika Virus rna in pregnant women
    Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2016
    Co-Authors: Dana Meaneydelman, Kara D Polen, Titilope Oduyebo, Jennifer L White, Andrea M Bingham, Sally Slavinski, Lea Heberleinlarson, Kirsten St George, Jennifer L Rakeman, Susan L Hills
    Abstract:

    Objective Zika Virus infection during pregnancy is a cause of microcephaly and other fetal brain abnormalities. Reports indicate that the duration of detectable viral RNA in serum after symptom onset is brief. In a recent case report involving a severely affected fetus, Zika Virus RNA was detected in maternal serum 10 weeks after symptom onset, longer than the duration of RNA detection in serum previously reported. This report summarizes the clinical and laboratory characteristics of pregnant women with prolonged detection of Zika Virus RNA in serum that were reported to the U.S. Zika Pregnancy Registry. Methods Data were obtained from the U.S. Zika Pregnancy Registry, an enhanced surveillance system of pregnant women with laboratory evidence of confirmed or possible Zika Virus infection. For this case series, we defined prolonged detection of Zika Virus RNA as Zika Virus RNA detection in serum by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) 14 or more days after symptom onset or, for women not reporting signs or symptoms consistent with Zika Virus disease (asymptomatic), 21 or more days after last possible exposure to Zika Virus. Results Prolonged Zika Virus RNA detection in serum was identified in four symptomatic pregnant women up to 46 days after symptom onset and in one asymptomatic pregnant woman 53 days postexposure. Among the five pregnancies, one pregnancy had evidence of fetal Zika Virus infection confirmed by histopathologic examination of fetal tissue, three pregnancies resulted in live births of apparently healthy neonates with no reported abnormalities, and one pregnancy is ongoing. Conclusion Zika Virus RNA was detected in the serum of five pregnant women beyond the previously estimated timeframe. Additional real-time RT-PCR testing of pregnant women might provide more data about prolonged detection of Zika Virus RNA and the possible diagnostic, epidemiologic, and clinical implications for pregnant women.
