9 What is Zika Virus? Single-stranded RNA arbovirus Isolated in 1947 in Zika Forest, Uganda Flavivirus similar to Dengue Yellow fever West Nile Japanese encephalitis Sirohi, D.; Chen, Z.; Sun, L.; et al. (31 March 2016)."The 3.8 Å resolution cryo-em structure of Zika virus". Science. doi: /science.aaf5316. ISSN

10 Modes of transmission Bite from an infected mosquito Maternal-fetal Intrauterine Perinatal Sexual transmission from infected male partners Laboratory exposure Theoretical: blood transfusion, organ and tissue transplant, fertility treatment, and breast feeding

11 What we do not know about sexual transmission We do not know how often men with Zika who never develop symptoms can have the virus in their semen or if they can pass Zika through sex. We do not know if sexual transmission of Zika virus poses a different risk of birth defects than mosquito-borne transmission. If a woman with Zika can pass the virus to her sex partners.

12 Possible Zika exposure (Travel or unprotected sex) Women Men Zika symptoms No symptoms Condoms / Abstain at least 8 weeks after symptoms start Condoms / Abstain at least 8 weeks after exposure Condoms / Abstain at least 6 months after symptoms start Condoms / Abstain at least 8 weeks after exposure. People who live in areas with Zika transmission (i.e. Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Virgin Islands) Zika symptoms Condoms / Abstain at least 8 weeks after symptoms start Condoms / Abstain at least 6 months After symptoms start No symptoms Condoms / Abstain Condoms / Abstain Highest Risk: Couples of a man and a pregnant woman should abstain from sex or use condoms consistently and correctly each time they have sex 12

18 Symptoms Many infections asymptomatic. Most common symptoms Acute onset of fever Maculopapular rash Joint pain Conjunctivitis Other symptoms include muscle pain and headache.

19 Clinical features: Zika virus compared to dengue and chikungunya Rabe, Ingrid MBChB, MMed Zika Virus- What Clinicians Need to Know? (presentation, Clinician Outreach and Communication Activity (COCA) Call, Atlanta, GA, January )

20 Diagnosis / Testing 20

21 Recommendations CDC recommends Zika virus testing for symptomatic people living in an active Zika transmission area, or who have recently traveled to an area with Zika, or who have had unprotected sex with a man confirmed to have Zika virus infection. Testing blood, semen, or urine is not recommended to determine how likely a man is to pass Zika virus through sex. Available tests may not accurately identify the presence of Zika or a man s risk of passing it on through sex.

22 Laboratories for diagnostic testing Testing performed at CDC, select commercial labs, and a few state health departments. CDC is working to expand laboratory diagnostic testing in states. Healthcare providers should contact their state health department to facilitate diagnostic testing.

23 Treating patients who test positive There are no vaccine or medicine Zika. Treat the symptoms of Zika Rest Drink fluids to prevent dehydration Take acetaminophen (Tylenol ) to reduce fever and pain Do not take aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) until dengue can be ruled out to reduce the risk of bleeding.

26 Do your homework before traveling wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/zika-travel-information Pregnant women should not travel to areas with Zika. If they must travel to areas with Zika, tell pregnant patients to protect themselves from mosquito bites and take steps to prevent sexual transmission during and after travel.

30 Disclosures None of the individuals in a position to control the content of the CME activity have any relevant financial relationships to disclose. 30

31 Objectives Prevention Impact on pregnancy Screening and testing recommendations Areas of uncertainty 31

32 Who is at risk in pregnancy? Travel or residence in area with active Zika transmission Sexual transmission Other (lab, organ transplant, blood transfusion) 32

33 What is the risk of Zika in pregnancy? Zika can be passed from mother to fetus during pregnancy and around the time of birth Infection around time of conception unknown No reports of transmission during breastfeeding Infection in pregnancy can cause Microcephaly, severe brain defects Growth restriction Eye defects, hearing loss Fetal loss 33

34 Preconception counseling Because of the uncertainty surrounding transmission, timing, & fetal effects, counseling is complex No evidence that Zika causes congenital infection after maternal viremia Incubation period: 3-14 days After symptom onset, Zika viremia lasts a few days to 1 week, longest in literature is 11 days 34

35 Preconception counseling should include: Signs and symptoms of Zika disease Potential outcomes of Zika infection in pregnancy Women should wait at least 8 weeks after symptoms before attempting conception No data available for women with asymptomatic infection, however: Based on longest incubation period (14 days), longest time of viremia (11 days), women with asymptomatic infection should wait at least 8 weeks from last date of possible exposure before attempting conception MMWR April 1, 2016, Vol 65, No 12 35

36 Preconception counseling should include: Provide information and strategies to prevent unintended pregnancy Effective contraception CDC has info sheets Consistent and correct condom use can decrease risk of sexual transmission Other prevention strategies Areas of risk awareness DEET (safe in pregnancy) Mosquito nets, permethrin-treated clothing MMWR April 1, 2016, Vol 65, No 12 36

37 Preconception counseling: Recommendations for men Sexual transmission can occur Data are limited CDC reported 7 lab confirmed cases of sexual transmission In all cases, the male had symptoms All have occurred within 3 weeks of symptoms (up to 10 weeks from symptoms) The duration and pattern of Zika in semen not well understood Oster AM, Russell K, Stryker JE, et al. Update: Interim Guidance for Prevention of Sexual Transmission of Zika Virus United States, MMWR 2016;65:

38 Preconception counseling: Recommendations for men If male had confirmed or suspected Zika (based on clinical illness) Consider abstaining from sex or using condoms for 6 months after illness onset If male had travel risk but no symptoms of Zika Consider abstaining from sex or using condoms for at least 8 weeks after departure from Zika area If male resides in Zika risk area but no symptoms Consider abstaining from sex or using condoms while active transmission persists Oster AM, Russell K, Stryker JE, et al. Update: Interim Guidance for Prevention of Sexual Transmission of Zika Virus United States, MMWR 2016;65:

39 Who to test? Testing for risk of sexual transmission prior to conception: Not recommended because duration and pattern of shedding not well understood A pregnant partner with possible sexual exposure should be tested if either she or her male partner developed symptoms consistent with Zika 1 or more of the following symptoms within 2 weeks of possible exposure (acute onset of fever, rash, arthralgia, conjunctivitis) Couples in which a woman is pregnant and male partner has traveled to or resides in Zika risk area, should use condoms for the duration of the pregnancy Oster AM, Russell K, Stryker JE, et al. Update: Interim Guidance for Prevention of Sexual Transmission of Zika Virus United States, MMWR 2016;65:

40 What testing is available? rrt-pcr for viral RNA collected <7 days (serum) or <= 14 days (urine) after illness onset IgM and neutralizing antibodies in serum collected up to 12 weeks after illness onset Plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) for virusspecific neutralizing antibodies in paired serum Immunohistochemical staining for viral antigens or RT- PCR on fixed tissues State Department of Health approves and sends testing CDC working to expand testing sites 40

41 Who to test in pregnancy? Women who DO NOT reside in area with active Zika transmission Testing recommended for pregnant women with clinical illness (1 or more: fever, rash, arthralgia, conjunctivitis) during or within 2 weeks of travel or possible sexual exposure Possible exposure includes (while pregnant or within 8 weeks prior to conception [6wk before LMP]): Travel to an area with active Zika transmission Sex (vaginal or anal) without a condom with male who traveled to or resided in an area with active Zika transmission Testing not recommended for pregnant women with possible sexual exposure if both partners are asymptomatic Petersen EE, Polen KN, Meaney-Delman D, et al. Update: Interim Guidance for Health Care Providers Caring for Women of Reproductive Age with Possible Zika Virus Exposure United States, MMWR 2016;65:

42

43 Who to test in pregnancy? Pregnant women who RESIDE in area with active Zika transmission If one or more signs/symptoms of Zika virus disease, testing should be performed at presentation If a woman does not report symptoms, serum IgM testing can be offered: Upon initiation of prenatal care and, if negative In mid-second trimester Repeat testing if symptoms develop 43

44

45 Fetal testing during pregnancy Fetal ultrasound abnormalities consistent with Zika disease include: Microcephaly Intracranial calcifications Brain or eye abnormalities Fetal ultrasounds might not detect abnormalities until late 2 nd or 3 rd trimester Serial ultrasounds consider every 4 weeks 45

46 CDC US Zika Pregnancy Registry CDC established the US Zika Pregnancy Registry to collect information and learn more about pregnant women in the US with Zika and their infants Data collected will be used to update recommendations for clinical care, plan for services for pregnant women and families affected by Zika, and improve prevention of Zika infection during pregnancy CDC maintains a 24/7 consultation service for health officials and healthcare providers caring for pregnant women. To contact the service, call or ZIKAMCH@cdc.gov CDC also established a similar system, the Zika Active Pregnancy Surveillance System, in Puerto Rico 46

47 Pregnant women A negative IgM result obtained 2-12 weeks after known exposure would suggest that a recent Zika infection did not occur and could obviate the need for serial ultrasounds Testing of amniotic fluid should be individualized Sensitivity of PCR on AF is unclear Optimal time for amniocentesis not known Zika RNA has been detected in amniotic fluid as early as 4 weeks after maternal symptoms and as early as 17 weeks gestation Petersen EE, Polen KN, Meaney-Delman D, et al. Update: Interim Guidance for Health Care Providers Caring for Women of Reproductive Age with Possible Zika Virus Exposure United States, MMWR 2016;65:

48 Areas of uncertainty Characteristics and duration of viral shedding, especially in sequestered sites such as semen More data needed in order to understand sexual transmission risk Performance of testing in amniotic fluid If testing is pending at time of delivery, placenta and cord blood samples may be important 48

49 Conclusions Preconception counseling important Understanding is changing Counseling for men and women is important Has become part of routine prenatal care Global village, screening for exposure is important Not just for Zika but for other illnesses 49
