As Zika virus infection spreads across the Latin American and Caribbean region and then into the southern United States, we can expect to see thousands of additional children born with microcephaly and possibly many more newborns or even older infants with signs of more subtle but significant neurologic defects and developmental delays. Just as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) / AIDS created a “new normal” in the field of pediatrics beginning in the 1990s, can we expect new paradigms in child health from Zika virus?
