Fetal and infant autopsies have provided crucial direct evidence that Zika virus can infect an unborn child, resulting in microcephaly, other malformations, and, in some cases, death.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Objective.\u2014<\/jats:bold>\n                    To better understand the etiologic role and mechanism(s) of Zika virus in causing birth defects such as microcephaly, this communication analyzes the spectrum of clinical and autopsy studies reported from fetuses and infants who developed intrauterine Zika virus infection, and compares these findings with experimental data related to Zika virus infection.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Design.\u2014<\/jats:bold>\n                    Retrospective analysis of reported clinical, autopsy, pathology, and related postmortem studies from 9 fetuses and infants with intrauterine Zika virus infection and microcephaly.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results.\u2014<\/jats:bold>\n                    All fetuses and infants examined demonstrated an overlapping spectrum of gross and microscopic neuropathologic abnormalities.

The occurrence of additional congenital abnormalities suggests that intrauterine brain damage from Zika virus interferes with normal fetal development, resulting in fetal akinesia. Experimental in vitro and in vivo studies of Zika virus infection corroborate the human autopsy findings of neural specificity.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5858\/arpa.2016-0343-oa","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,24]],"date-time":"2016-08-24T09:54:19Z","timestamp":1472032459000},"page":"68-72","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":65,"title":["Autopsy and Postmortem Studies Are Concordant: Pathology of Zika Virus Infection Is Neurotropic in Fetuses and Infants With Microcephaly Following Transplacental Transmission"],"prefix":"10.5858","volume":"141","author":[{"given":"David A.","family":"Schwartz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pathology, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University, Augusta."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3906","reference":[{"issue":"20","key":"i1543-2165-141-1-68-b01","series-title":"N Engl J Med","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1981","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMsr1604338","article-title":"Zika virus and birth defects\u2014reviewing the evidence for causality","volume":"374","author":"Rasmussen \n              SA,","year":"2016","unstructured":"Rasmussen \n              SA, \n            \n            \n              Jamieson \n              DJ, \n            \n            \n              Honein \n              MA, \n            \n            \n              Petersen \n              LR. \n            \n          \n          Zika virus and birth defects\u2014reviewing the evidence for causality.
