What are the Complications Associated with Zika Virus?
While most Zika infections are mild, the virus can cause severe complications, particularly in pregnant women. Zika infection during pregnancy can lead to microcephaly and other severe fetal brain defects. Additionally, Zika has been associated with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a rare condition in which the immune system attacks the nerves, leading to muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis.
