Zika virus infection in the Brazilian Amazon: A case report

Abstract

During pregnancy, women go through physiological and psychosocial changes considered normal at this phase; on average one in five women have symptoms of distress. Having to face a disease prone to cause congenital abnormalities in the fetus or newborn further increases the psychological stress of pregnant women. The multidisciplinary team must ensure the physical and psychological well-being of these pregnant women throughout pregnancy [1].
