ABSTRACT
Summary Currently Latin America is undergoing a major epidemic of Zika virus, which is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. Concern for Zika virus infection has been increasing as it is suspected of causing brain defects in newborns such as microcephaly and, more recently, potential neurological and autoimmune complications including Guillian-Barré syndrome and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. We describe a case of virus infection in a 25-year-old woman during the first trimester of her pregnancy, confirmed by laboratory tests only for the detection of viral particles in maternal urine, with imaging studies demonstrating the progression of cranial and encephalic changes in the fetus and later in the newborn, such as head circumference reduction, cerebral calcifications and ventriculomegaly.
RESUMO
Resumo Atualmente, a América Latina está passando por uma grande epidemia de Zika vírus, transmitido por mosquitos Aedes. A preocupação pela infecção pelo Zika vírus vem aumentando, uma vez que é suspeita de causar defeitos cerebrais em recém-nascidos, como a microcefalia e, mais recentemente, potenciais complicações neurológicas e autoimunes, como síndrome de Guillian-Barré e encefalomielite disseminada aguda. Descrevemos um caso de infecção pelo vírus em uma mulher de 25 anos durante o primeiro trimestre de gestação, confirmado dentre os exames laboratoriais apenas pela detecção de partículas virais na urina materna, com estudos de imagens demonstrando a evolução das alterações cranianas e encefálicas no feto e no recém-nascido, como redução do perímetro cefálico, calcificações cerebrais e ventriculomegalia.
