ABSTRACT

For the first time in Mexico in October 2015, the first case of infection was reported by virus Zika, Arboviruses belonging to the genus flavivirus identified in 1947 in Uganda, in the forests of Zika. Endemic in Africa and Asia, this has been responsible for epidemics in different islands of the Pacific in 2007 and Polynesia in 2013. In Easter Island and the Cook Islands in 2014. Th e symptoms of the infection can be mistaken for the dengue. Th e World Health Organization at the end of 2015 warned of the “rapid geographic expansion” virus Zika, since cases in 13 countries American and two outbreaks were detected last year in Brazil and Colombia. For the moment, according to the World Health Organization, there is no specific treatment or vaccine. Vector control measures Ae. aegypti and avoid their bite are the most relevant. Possible associated complications, such as microcephaly, Guillain- Barré Syndrome, other autoimmune and neurological disorders and possible sexual transmission or blood are studied. to the date of the present report, February 2, 2016, in Mexico have confi rmed 21 cases by the Ministry of health. Th e World Health Organization issued an international alert by the epidemic; the proportion of cases might be alarming as it is in Brazil. Condition must be an important preventative collaborative work together with society in our State and country.
