<h3>Importance</h3> The Zika virus (ZIKV) might cause microcephaly and ophthalmoscopic findings in infants of mothers infected during pregnancy. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess identify possible risk factors for born with a presumed clinical diagnosis ZIKV intrauterine infection. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> We conducted cross-sectional study at the Altino Ventura Foundation Recife, Brazil, that included 40 Pernambuco state, between May December 2015. Toxoplasmosis, rubella,...
Zika virus (ZIKV) can cause severe changes in the retina and choroid that may result marked visual impairment infants with congenital syndrome (CZS), term created for a variety of anomalies associated intrauterine ZIKV infection.To evaluate affected retinal layers CZS abnormalities using optical coherence tomography (OCT).This cross-sectional, consecutive case series included 8 (age range, 3.0-5.1 months) CZS. Optical tomographic images were obtained eyes 7 who had undergone previous...
To assess peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer, macular ganglion cell complex, and total thicknesses using spectral domain optical coherence tomography on sickle disease patients with without retinopathy.Nineteen eyes of 11 hemoglobin disease, 65 36 SS 48 24 healthy subjects underwent scanning (RTVue). Eyes were classified into 3 groups according to posterior segment changes: no retinopathy (n = 64), nonproliferative 12), proliferative 8).The central fovea in was thickened compared...
A better pathophysiologic understanding of the neurodevelopmental abnormalities observed in neonates exposed utero to Zika virus (ZIKV) is needed develop treatments. The retina as an extension diencephalon accessible vivo microcopy with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) can provide insight into pathophysiology congenital syndrome (CZS).To quantify microstructural changes CZS and compare these those cobalamin C (cblC) deficiency, a disease potential retinal...
