News 18  

The Zika virus patient in Kanpur is under treatment but stable, and samples of 22 persons who were in contact with him have resulted negative for the mosquito-borne disease, officials said on Tuesday. The 57-year-old man had tested positive for Zika virus on October 22, prompting the Centre to send a high-level multi-disciplinary team of medical experts to Kanpur. They interacted with the family members of the Zika virus patient, took case details, his travel history and information of people who were in his contact in recent days, according to officials. Zika virus, whose first outbreak was recorded in African countries, can cause pregnancy-related complications and increased risk of neurologic complications in adults and children, according to the World Health Organization.
