Deskripsi
Here, using diagnostic tools in a longitudinal cohort of ZIKV-infected pregnant women of the French Guiana Western Hospital Center (CHOG) and their infants, the authors investigate the long term neuropathological effects of congenital infection, finding that a laboratory confirmed congenital ZIKV infection at birth is associated with higher risks of adverse neurological outcomes up to three years of life.
