Zika virus in Colombia is very quiet - but undiagnosed rashy fever disease hasn't gone away...

Just a quick snapdate today.

Clinically suspect cases of Zika virus (ZIKV)  infection have increased by 227-933/week for the past 12 weeks (red graph) - but none have been confirmed as ZIKV by the Colombian Institute of Health.

That seems to indicate just how terrible clinical diagnoses is. Otherwise, there's a testing or reporting problem.

The green graph below shows the flat line that indicates no new positives confirmed by laboratory testing.

Thankfully, we also continue to see few new cases of ZIKV-linked congenital syndromes. Although, this is also something of a conundrum.

Pregnant women are not being reported with many new confirmed or suspected ZIKV diagnoses - which makes sens of there is no rise in confirmed cases overall.
