Pregnant women are among nearly four dozen cases of the Zika virus reported in Illinois, the Illinois Department of Public Health said Thursday.

The department reported 46 total cases of the virus statewide, with eight women listed in the Zika Virus Pregnancy Registry.

 

A spokesperson for the department initially said the eight women were confirmed to have Zika virus, but later said five cases remained unclear. 

According to Divya Little with the IDPH, those five cases tested positive for a flavivirus, but Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials could not determine whether the women had Zika virus or Dengue fever.
