Second case of Zika virus confirmed in Davidson County, Tennessee

 

The second case of Zika virus has been confirmed in Davidson County.

The Tennessee Health Department made the announcement Thursday evening. The person recently returned to Nashville after traveling to Honduras , where Zika is being transmitted by mosquitoes.

The person lives in the East Nashville area and is expected to recover from the virus. The health department said there is no apparent connection with the first travel case.

Health Department staff will be visiting an area tomorrow near the intersection of Shelby Avenue and S 10th Street, close to where the traveler lives, to distribute flyers to area residents.

There is no vaccine to prevent infection and no specific antiviral treatment for Zika virus infection. Its most common symptoms are fever, rash, joint pain and red eyes. Pregnant women can be infected with Zika virus in any trimester and there have been increased cases of microcephaly possibly associated with Zika virus infections.
