Zika virus is a mosquito-borne infection primarily transmitted by the Aedes mosquitoes. While most Zika infections cause mild symptoms or go unnoticed, the virus poses serious risks for pregnant women as it can lead to congenital disabilities like microcephaly. At Savera, we specialize in diagnosing and managing Zika virus infections with advanced testing, personalized treatment plans, and preventive care. Led by Dr. Meenu Vaid, we proudly serve the Morgan Hill and Bay Area communities with expert infectious disease care.
We emphasize early detection, supportive care, and prevention strategies to protect our patients from complications and long-term effects.
Recognizing symptoms early and seeking medical care can help prevent complications and virus transmission.
While symptoms of Zika may be mild, early diagnosis is key to preventing complications, especially for pregnant women.

There is currently no specific treatment or vaccine for Zika virus infection. Managing symptoms includes rest, hydration, and over-the-counter pain relievers. Prevention remains the best strategy.
Preventing Zika involves avoiding mosquito bites, especially in high-risk areas. This includes using insect repellent, wearing long-sleeved clothing, and ensuring living spaces are mosquito-proof. Pregnant women should take extra precautions if traveling to affected regions.
Yes, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regularly update travel advisories for regions where Zika is circulating. It is recommended to check these updates before traveling to affected areas.
The most common symptoms of Zika include fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). Symptoms are usually mild and last between 2-7 days, but many infected individuals may not experience any symptoms at all.
Zika virus during pregnancy can lead to serious birth defects, including microcephaly and other congenital abnormalities collectively known as congenital Zika syndrome. Pregnant women should avoid travel to affected areas to reduce the risk of infection.
Zika virus symptoms typically last for 2-7 days, and most cases are mild. While the virus clears from the body naturally, individuals should monitor their symptoms and take preventive measures to avoid mosquito bites and further spread.
Most people recover from Zika without complications, as symptoms are usually mild. However, in rare cases, neurological complications like Guillain-Barré syndrome may occur, requiring medical attention.
The content does not specify the exact duration, but Zika virus is known to remain in the bloodstream for a short period. Since the virus can be transmitted from mother to fetus, pregnant women should take extra precautions.
Since there is no specific treatment, Zika is typically managed with symptom relief. While most people recover without complications, pregnant women face serious risks, including birth defects in their babies.
The content does not mention specific testing methods, but health organizations like the CDC provide guidelines for Zika testing, particularly for pregnant women or those who have traveled to high-risk areas.
