Webcast: Clinical Evaluation & Management of Infants with Congenital Zika Infection

Sponsored by CDC in collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics, this meeting will be an opportunity to

• Review what we know and what we don’t know about congenital Zika virus infection
• Discuss clinical evaluation and management of infants with congenital Zika virus infection, including those with microcephaly as well as those born with Zika virus infection but without problems apparent at birth.

Pregnant womenin the United States, DC, and US territories have laboratory evidence of Zika virus infection. Infants with birth defects have been born to women who had Zika infection during pregnancy in the US states. Guidance on appropriate care and support is needed to better prepare communities to support these vulnerable infants and families.

During this meeting, pediatric health specialists, non-governmental partners, and federal officials will gather at CDC to discuss clinical evaluation and management of infants with congenital Zika virus infection in the United States.  CDC will take discussions on clinical evaluation and management into consideration when developing interim guidance for health care providers.
