Flowchart:
A doctor decides that a pregnant woman should be tested for Zika virus. →
A pregnant woman provides blood and urine samples to be tested for Zika virus. →
The laboratory tests her samples for Zika virus and notifies her doctor who informs the woman of her results. →
If she tests positive (meaning she has Zika virus), her doctor’s office securely sends her medical information to the health department. →
The health department collects the baby’s medical information until its second birthday. →
The health department sends the information securely to CDC’s US Zika Pregnancy & Infant Registry. →
CDC scientists analyze the information to:
