Abstract
Incidence of neurologic manifestations associated with Zika virus infection has been increasing. In 2016, neuropsychological and cognitive changes developed in an adolescent after travel to a Zika virus-endemic area. Single-photon emission computed tomography and neuropsychological testing raised the possibility that Zika virus infection may lead to neuropsychiatric and cognitive symptoms.
Keywords:
Zika virus; adolescent; cognitive impairment; flavivirus; neuropsychiatric symptoms; vector-borne infections; viruses.
