Zika virus has infected at least 157 pregnant women living in the continental United States and another 122 in Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories, putting them at risk of delivering babies with microcephaly, the CDC reports Friday.
The figure, based on tests of women with symptoms of the disease, probably underestimates the total number, the agency said.
All of the U.S. infections occurred in women who had traveled abroad or, in rare cases, were infected by infected sexual partners who returned from areas of Zika prevalence. In Puerto Rico, the virus is being transmitted by local mosquitoes.
CDC is tracking the outcomes of these pregnancies, but reported no data today. At least one infected woman in Puerto Rico miscarried and another in Washington, D.C., had an abortion after imaging revealed the fetus had a misshapen head and brain.
