July 12, 2016 - Weekly Texas Data for National Zika Pregnancy Registry

Texas has reported to the CDC three confirmed cases of Zika in a pregnant women who traveled abroad to an area with Zika transmission. There have been 31 additional pregnancies in Texas with laboratory evidence of Zika infection since tracking and testing for Zika began, but all of those 31 had no symptoms and do not meet the Zika case definition. Texas provides this data to the CDC’s Pregnancy Registry weekly.

The registry casts a wider net – beyond confirmed Zika cases – to track and follow pregnancies that may have been impacted by Zika. States are reporting confirmed cases but also the number of pregnancies that can’t be confirmed to be Zika-infected but have some lab indication of a flavivirus infection. Flaviviruses are known to cross-react during confirmatory testing, making it difficult to determine if the person was infected with Zika or some other flavivirus.
