Abstract
|
|
|
|
Since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on February 2016, the epidemic transmission of Zika virus has immediately occurred in large parts of the Americas, the Caribbean, and the western pacific area. With a number of evidence, it is widely known that Zika virus is a cause of congenital abnormalities including microcephaly and Guillain-Barre syndrome. On November 2016, at the 5th meeting of the Emergency Committee, WHO declared the end of the PHEIC since the long-term technical mechanism was required to manage the global response. This paper examined the current epidemiology, transmission, clinical features and future outlook of Zika virus disease, including assessment of the future outlook particularly in the Korean context.
