The Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that has emerged as a significant threat in the region of the Americas, especially for pregnant women. Recent outbreaks in Central and South America have been associated with an increase in the incidence of microcephaly and other central nervous system abnormalities in newborns. There is a causal link between Zika infection during pregnancy and microcephaly and other neurological disorders. The region faces a probable epidemic with potential consequences for pregnant women and newborns. The epidemiology of the Zika virus, its threat to pregnancy, clinical consequences and impact on public health are reviewed. A number of features of the mechanisms of infection and dissemination sustain preventive interventions, diagnosis and management of the disease. It is important to intensify its epidemiological surveillance, and to work on prevention and an adequate management response in pregnant women with a presumptive diagnosis or with a Zika virus infection. Its presence has been demonstrated in several regions of Peru. Until December 2016, infection had been confirmed in 61 pregnant women, particularly in Jaen, Cajamarca, with 36 cases. The delivery of 38 newborns has been reported, 32 of which occurred in Jaen. These neonates had no microcephaly or other complications at birth. In the light of the understandable concern among the general population about the zika virus and its risk for the pregnant woman and newborn, strategies for the epidemiological surveillance and control of the zika virus should be ensured. These actions should include adequate pre-conceptional preparation, work on vector control, control of pregnant women and coordination between the health system and the population in order to reduce risks, ensuring adequate protection for women, pregnant women and their fetuses. El virus zika es un flavivirus transmitido por mosquitos que ha emergido como una amenaza significativa en la región de las Américas, especialmente para la gestante. Recientes brotes en América Central y del Sur se han asociado con un incremento en la incidencia de microcefalia y otras anomalías del sistema nervioso central en recién nacidos. Existe un vínculo causal entre la infección por zika durante el embarazo, con microcefalia y otros trastornos neurológicos. La región se enfrenta a una probable epidemia de magnitud con potenciales consecuencias en gestantes y recién nacidos. Se revisa la epidemiología del virus zika, su amenaza al embarazo, consecuencias clínicas y su impacto en la salud pública. Existe una serie de características de los mecanismos de infección, difusión que da sustento a intervenciones preventivas, diagnóstico y manejo de la enfermedad. Es importante intensificar su vigilancia epidemiológica, trabajar en la prevención y una adecuada respuesta de manejo a gestantes con diagnóstico presuntivo o con infección por virus zika. Está demostrada su presencia en varias regiones del Perú; a diciembre 2016 se ha confirmado 61 gestantes, en particular en Jaén, Cajamarca con 36 casos. Se ha comunicado el nacimiento de 38 neonatos; de ellos, 32 recién nacidos corresponden a Jaén. Estos neonatos al nacer no han presentado microcefalia ni otras complicaciones. Frente a la comprensible preocupación entre la población en general acerca del zika y su riesgo sobre la gestante y el feto, se deben asegurar estrategias de vigilancia epidemiológica y control para zika. Estas acciones deben incluir una adecuada preparación preconcepcional, trabajo en control vectorial, control de la gestante y coordinación entre el sistema de salud y la población, a fin de reducir los riesgos, asegurando adecuada protección a la mujer, a la gestante y al feto. |
