“…However, more information is needed to establish robust recommendations for pregnant women wishing to travel to endemic areas. A recent multicenter cohort study has suggested that the risk of ZIKV infection may be lower in pregnant travelers than in residents, especially when travelling outside epidemic periods, excluding the Caribbean Islands, and staying for less than 2 weeks (RR 0.6, 0.4–0.8) [ 18 ].…”

Zika Virus Infection in Tourists Travelling to Thailand: Case Series Report

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Thailand is a popular tourist destination where Zika virus (ZIKV) transmission is currently active. To our knowledge, there are no reports of ZIKV infection imported from Thailand and affecting children. Here, we describe the clinical and microbiological findings in three cases of vector-borne ZIKV infection: An 11-year-old boy, a 2-year-old girl, and her pregnant mother, this last case leading to the prenatal exposure of her second baby to ZIKV in the second trimester of pregnancy. All patients were diagnosed after traveling to Thailand between September 2019 and January 2020. No complications were detected in any patient at follow-up, and the prenatally exposed fetus showed no abnormalities during intensive antenatal health care monitoring. On postnatal study, there were no clinical signs or microbiological findings of mother-to-child ZIKV transmission. ZIKV IgG was initially positive, but seroreversion occurred at 4 months of life. This report describes the clinical and serological evolution of vector-borne ZIKV infection occurring in dengue-naïve tourists returning from Thailand. The World Health Organization currently recommends that pre-travel advice to prevent arbovirus infection should be maintained in travelers to Southeast Asia.
