Fluorescein angiography, high magnification detect retinal changes in Zika patients

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — High magnification and fluorescein angiography detected retinal and vasculature changes in a consecutive case series of children diagnosed with Zika infection, according to a speaker here.
“Fluorescein angiography was useful in detecting the discrete retinal defects, which are unspecific for congenital Zika syndrome, but they might explain the high visual impairment rates in these children. Also, this study has shown that the retinal vasculature in congenital Zika syndrome may be affected, and this might be caused by the direct aggression of the virus
