我们报告了一名2015年6月从马尔代夫返回芬兰后出现发热和皮疹的患者感染寨卡病毒（ZIKV）。患者具有登革病毒（DENV）IgG和IgM抗体，但泛黄病毒RT-PCR和随后的测序显示尿液中存在ZIKV RNA。最近ZIKV与小头畸形的关联突出了ZIKV与DENV感染的实验室区分以及ZIKV在其目前已知分布范围之外的区域中的循环的需要。
We report a Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in a patient with fever and rash after returning to Finland from Maldives, June 2015. The patient had dengue virus (DENV) IgG and IgM antibodies but pan-flavivirus RT-PCR and subsequent sequencing showed presence of ZIKV RNA in urine. Recent association of ZIKV with microcephaly highlights the need for laboratory differentiation of ZIKV from DENV infection and the circulation of ZIKV in areas outside its currently known distribution range.
