Brazil last reported a total of 120,161 suspected Zika virus detections some weeks back. Around one thousand of these have been confirmed.[2,3]
Suspected M&CD cases...
The total number of suspected M&CD cases increased by 107 to 7,830 this EW (compared to last).
The graph above shows the number of suspected M&CD diagnoses in Brazil up to 04-June-2016. The cumulative curve (yellow dots; left hand axis) is growing, but slowly.
This was another weekly rise (orange bars; right-hand axis). These bars are based on the difference in total suspected cases reported this EW compared to that reported in the last EW. This method may not reflect the diagnoses that occurred during the past EW (some may have come from days or weeks earlier), but that level of detail is not available in the MOH report.
Confirmed and discarded M&CD diagnoses...
M&CD cases under investigation decreased by 145 to 3,017 this week - the eleventh consecutive decrease.
In the graph above, we can see that 190 (blue bars; right hand axis) suspected M&CD diagnoses were discarded upon closer investigation with a current total of 3,262 removed.

The rate of these resolved diagnoses (line with blue dots, left-hand axis) continues to outpace the rate of the smaller overall number of confirmed M&CD diagnoses (red dots, left-hand axis).
As of this EW, 20% of suspected M&CD diagnoses have been confirmed while 42% of suspected diagnoses have been discarded-a percentage that has increased for 18 weeks.
The cumulative number of confirmed M&CD diagnoses does continue its climb this EW, growing by 62 new diagnoses (red bars; right-hand axis) to total 1,551.

The number of these M&CD diagnoses to be confirmed with a Zika virus infection also grows (green dots; left-hand axis) by 1 new detection (green bars; right-hand axis) to 224 this EW after rising by 15 the preceding EW.
Those confirmed Zika virus infections represent 14% of all confirmed M&CD diagnoses and 3% of all suspect diagnoses.
