CMV- periventricular calcifications
Zika- subcortical calcifications
toxo- intraparenchymal calcifications
HIV- basal ganglia
what is the treatment for congenital CMV

newborn infant with microcephaly, club foot, dislocated hips, chorioretinal scars. what is the cause?
zika
what type of virus is zika
how do you get zika

mosquito- borne (aedes mosquitos)
clinical manifestations- 75-80% are asymptomatic

what is the congenital anomaly risk of zika in pregnancy?
5-10% overall
higher risk in first trimester versus 3rd
how do you make an antenatal diagnosis of zika?
serology (IgM, IgG, PRNT)
- PRNT is confirmatory test
have to do Dengue serology at the same time
PCR in blood and urine
- remains positive for 3-7d after symptom onset
what is the workup for zika in a newborn
serology
- IgM and IgG, dengue IgM and IgG
if positive then PRNT
(zika IgM on CSF)
PCR
- placental and umbilical cord tissue
- serum, urine, CSF (if LP done)
do not use cord blood due to possible contamination with maternal blood
how is congenital zika virus confirmed
zika PCR in any specimen from child
highly likely
- detection of zika by PCR from placenta
- zika IgM reactive in baby
positive IgG or PRNT may reflect transplacental maternal antibody
