The Role of Amniocentesis in the Diagnosis of Congenital Zika Syndrome.

There are limited data on amniocentesis as a diagnostic tool for congenital Zika syndrome. Here we report on a prospective cohort of 16 women with suspected Zika virus infection in a highly endemic area, and discuss the role of amniocentesis in the prenatal diagnosis of fetal Zika infection. © The Author(s) 2019.
