INTRODUCTION
MAY 2015
Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) issued a
Warning regarding 1st case of Zika Infection
The basal position of the ZIKV strain isolated in Malaysia in 1966 suggests
that the recent outbreak in Micronesia (island of Yapp) was initiated by a
strain from Southeast Asia. Because ZIKV infection in humans produces an
illness clinically similar to dengue fever and many other tropical infectious
diseases, it is likely greatly misdiagnosed and underreported. (Andrew D. H
et. Al, 2012)
Signs & Symptoms:
1) Patient with rash or fever (37.5◦C)
2) Arthralgia or myalgia
3) Non-purulent conjunctivitis or conjunctival hyperemia
