ACOG Practice Advisory on Zika Virus 6/1/2020

ACOG and SMFM have issued a Practice Advisory on the Zika virus about prevention strategies and current guidance for management of pregnant women. This is based on CDC’s health advisory, travel advisory, and early release MMWR. Management of women exposed to Zika virus including those with suspected infection or evidence of fetal effects is evolving. Recommendations for management will be updated periodically to reflect changing evidence and emerging consensus.
