âZika virus seems to pose little or no threat to the nervous system of infants or children, when infections occur after birth,â Bale says. Bale notes that the virus can cause infections in the brain such as encephalitis, but this is rare. Still, parents should be alert concerning this possibility.
Common symptoms of infection with the virus include mild headaches, maculopapular rash, fever, malaise, conjunctivitis, and arthralgia. The first well documented case of Zika virus was in 1964, beginning with a mild headache and progressing to a maculopapular rash, fever, and back pain.Within 2 days, the rash was fading, and within 3 days, the fever was gone and only the rash remained.There is no vaccine or preventive drug for Zika virus, and only treatment of symptoms is possible. Usually non-steroid anti-inflammatories and/or non-salicylic analgetics are used.ithin 2 days, the rash was fading, and within 3 days, the fever was gone and only the rash remained.
