Congenital Zika Virus Syndrome: how to improve your diagnostic capabilities
As pregnant women and their fetuses are being diagnosed with Congenital Zika Virus Syndrome with increased frequency in Brazil as well as in other Latin American countries, it becomes crucial to educate regional practitioners on the way to make these diagnoses as early as possible. ISUOG Outreach has organised, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO). a free webinar on the subject to provide participants with the necessary tools to differentiate between unaffected and affected fetuses.

Article from the WHO:
The WHO launched its revised guidance on Pregnancy Management in the Context of Zika Virus Infection. This guidance is now available and can be accessed at the following link: http://www.who.int/csr/resources/publications/zika/pregnancy-management/en/
This publication is accompanied by a commentary in Lancet Global Health, available at: http://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(16)30098-5/fulltext
The commentary highlights key messages in the guidance and provides a ‘tool’ that could help health care providers interpret screening results very quickly.
