Abstract

Introduction: The tropical disease known as Zika Fever is caused by the ZIKA virus is contracted by vectors of the genus Aedes, by sexual transmission and congenital route from the mother to the fetus. Objective: To determine the most relevant diagnostic method to detect congenital Zika virus syndrome. Materials and Methods: the systematic method with non-experimental cross-sectional design was used to prepare this research, gathering information on the websites of scientific articles such as Pubmed, American Journal and Ministry of Public Health, obtaining search results for 50,000 articles related to the subject, of which 21 bibliographic sources with scientific relevance and updating of the last 4 years have been selected. Results: It was analyzed in the review of the articles that in high-income tropical areas there is a high rate of infants with probable congenital infection with Zika virus presented craniofacial deformities, with characteristics of the FBDS phenotype. Conclusion: diagnostic criteria such as Sherpard's should be used to determine teratogenicity, perform laboratory tests such as TORCH, and CZS phenotype to identify the infection, giving the corresponding follow-up and treatment.
