Abstract

In 2015, the major epidemic associated with Zika virus (ZIKV) in Latin America revealed serious congenital disorders related to the infection. The most visible illustration was the appearance of microcephaly in some children born to infected mothers. But other defects, including oculars defects, were also detected. Studies on cell and mouse models have allowed a better understanding of the pathophysiology associated with ZIKV. In this article, we will summarize the latest data in the literature concerning the different congenital disorders associated with ZIKV as well as the problem of diagnosis of congenital ZIKV infection.
