MDH Participation in the U.S. Zika Pregnancy Registry
Zika
virus infection during pregnancy can cause microcephaly, other brain defects,
and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. Many questions remain about the risks of
Zika virus infection during pregnancy. Information about the timing, absolute
risk, and spectrum of outcomes associated with Zika virus infection during
pregnancy is needed to direct public health action related to Zika virus and
guide testing, evaluation, and management.
The
Maryland Department of Health is collaborating with the CDC
to understand more about Zika virus infection by participating in the US Zika
Pregnancy Registry. The registry will be used to connect pregnant women and
families affected by Zika virus to services, to update recommendations for
clinical care, and to improve prevention of Zika virus infection during
pregnancy.
