Zika Virus treatment in Gustavo A. Madero

The Zika virus is an infection transmitted mainly through the bite of Aedes mosquitoes, the same ones that transmit dengue. In many people it runs a mild or symptom-free course, but it warrants attention because of its relevance in pregnancy.

Common symptoms: Mild fever, skin rash, redness of the eyes, joint and muscle pain, and general malaise.

When to seek care? If you have these symptoms after visiting areas with transmitting mosquitoes, or in the case of a pregnancy with possible exposure.

Which specialist treats it? The infectious disease specialist guides the study of the Zika virus, the internist and the pediatrician care for adults and children, and the gynecologist is involved during pregnancy. Consulting these professionals in a timely manner allows you to receive appropriate guidance.
