Print Edition
A 43-year-old woman from Taiwan who spent five months in the Caribbean island nation of Saint Lucia with her husband and returned to the Taiwan on July 24 was confirmed to have been infected with the Zika virus, Taiwan’s center for disease control said yesterday.
It is the fourth imported case of the Zika virus infection reported on the island and the first confirmed case involving a local resident, said the center. The other cases involved people from Thailand and Indonesia.
The woman saw a doctor when she experienced symptoms including nausea and fever on July 26, and consulted a doctor again three days later when a red rash developed on her face and limbs. Test results showed she had been infected with the virus, the center said, adding that her condition has improved.
Lab tests revealed that the virus she contracted is genetically similar to the one that has been found in Martinique, Panama and Colombia.
