New Evidence Regarding Zika and Microcephaly

Zika Virus RNA Replication and Persistence in Brain and Placental Tissue

Not something that will affect my practice but I did find it interesting. I was (incorrectly) under the impression that we only had a corrollary link with Zika and microcephaly, but we did have a causal link with Zika, microcephaly, and pregnancy loss. This study looked at presence of Zika in microcephalic infants and pregnant women and had some scary results (like mean 163 days between maternal symptom onset and detection in fetal brain!)

The summary I read was here. Scary stuff.
