    A third case of Zika virus has been confirmed in Allegheny County, according to the Allegheny County Health Department.

    The patient traveled to an outbreak-affected area in March, the health department said.

    About 20 people across Pennsylvania have contracted the virus after traveling outside the United States. More than 120 people in the state are awaiting test results.

    The most common symptoms of Zika virus include fever, rash, joint pain and conjunctivitis, according to the health department. However, most people infected do not show symptoms.

    If a woman is infected with the virus during pregnancy, it can cause microcephaly in a fetus.
