ABSTRACT
A widespread epidemic of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection was reported in 2015 in
South and Central America and the Caribbean. A major concern associated with
this infection is the apparent increased incidence of microcephaly in fetuses born
to mothers infected with ZIKV. In this report, we describe the case of an expectant
mother who had a febrile illness with rash at the end of the first trimester of pregnancy while she was living in Brazil. Ultrasonography performed at 29 weeks of gestation revealed microcephaly with calcifications in the fetal brain and placenta.
