Zika Fever Symptoms

11:21 PM

About 1 in 5 people infected with Zika will get sick. For people who get sick, the illness is usually mild. For this reason, many people might not realize they have been infected.



The most common signs and symptoms of Zika fever are fever, rash, conjunctivitis (red eyes), muscle and joint pain, and headache, which are similar to signs and symptoms of dengue and chikungunya fever. The time from a mosquito bite to developing symptoms is not yet known, but is probably a few days to a week. The disease lasts for several days to a week and is usually mild enough that people do not have to go to a hospital.

Bleeding has been documented in only one case, with blood seen in semen (hematospermia).

Zika is a disease caused by Zika virus that is spread to people primarily through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito.
