Resum
INTRODUCTION: Zika virus is mainly transmitted through the bites
of infected Aedes mosquitoes, although mother-to-child and
sexual transmission have also been described. The presence of
Zika virus in semen after infection seems to be not uncommon,
but the duration of viral persistence has not been
well-determined. METHODS: Molecular, serological and cell
culture methods were used for the diagnosis and follow up of a
case of Zika virus infection imported from Venezuela. Serial
samples of serum, urine and semen were analyzed to investigate
the persistence of the Zika virus. RESULTS: Zika virus was
detected in semen samples up to 93 days after the onset of
symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Our results confirm the persistence of
Zika virus in semen samples for long periods after infection.
