As many of you may be aware, during the last year there have been cases of Zika confirmed in Kerala and Uttar Pradesh, India. Recently a case of Zika virus disease was confirmed in a business traveler to Gujarat, India. This is a novel location for Zika within India (based on available surveillance data). We would like to make our members aware of this and to advise to seriously consider Zika as a diagnosis in any patient returning from India in addition to dengue and chikungunya. If you have seen any returning travelers from Gujarat with confirmed Zika virus disease, please inform geosentinel@geosentinel.org
