An imported case of Zika fever has been identified in the Russian Federation, the situation is under control An imported case of Zika fever has been reported in the Russian Federation. The disease was discovered in September of this year in a woman who returned to Moscow from a vacation on the island of Bali. The patient was admitted to an infectious disease hospital. The biological material was tested at an authorized institution of Rospotrabendzor, and based on the results of the study, the diagnosis was confirmed. For Russia, Zika fever is not endemic. The main risk is related to the importation of infection by travelers from disadvantaged areas, including some countries in America, South and Southeast Asia. There is no fear of contamination spreading within the country. The mosquitoes living in Russia do not pose high epidemiological risks as carriers of dangerous tropical fever. Rospotrabendzor constantly monitors the epidemiological situation in Russia and abroad, and also assesses the risks of importing infections through the automated peripheral information system. The department's research organizations have developed home test systems for rapid diagnosis of Zika fever, which are actively used for differential diagnosis. To prevent infection when traveling to tropical countries, Rospotrabendzor recommends protecting yourself from mosquito bites: using repellents, wearing long sleeves and pants, preferably light-colored fabrics, installing mosquito nets on windows and avoiding trips to swampy areas. Before traveling, you should familiarize yourself with the epidemiological situation in your vacation destination. After returning, you need to monitor your well-being. If you have a fever, headache, back pain, muscle or joint pain, rash or conjunctivitis, you should contact your doctor immediately and inform them of your trip. The situation is under the control of the Russian Federation. Rospotrabendzor in MAX.
