ALMEIDA, Catarina Lopes de  e  RAMALHO, Carla. Fetal repercussions of Zika virus infection during pregnancy. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.3, pp.190-195. ISSN 1646-5830.

Anomalies in other systems were found to a lesser extent. Despite enough evidence proving this causality, it is important to document all these changes, allowing the comprehension of the virus' full width
