CDC notes Zika in 9 pregnant women, cases of sexual transmission
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today reported a range of complications at a level higher than they expected in nine pregnant US women who had travel-related Zika infections.
Also, the CDC released a report on six sexual transmission cases—some involving pregnant women—that are furthest along in the investigation process, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for a Zika virus immunoglobulin (IgM) antibody test (Zika MAC-ELISA), clearing the way for its rollout to labs in the CDC's Laboratory Response Network.
