We report a case of Zika virus infection imported in Florence, Italy ex-Thailand, leading to a secondary autochthonous case, probably through sexual transmission. The two cases occurred in May 2014 but were retrospectively diagnosed in 2016 on the basis of serological tests (plaque reduction neutralisation) performed on stored serum samples. Our report provides further evidence that sexual transmission of Zika virus is possible.
我们报告了一例在意大利佛罗伦萨输入的寨卡病毒感染病例，该病例曾在泰国感染，导致了第二例本地感染病例，可能是通过性传播。这两例病例发生在 2014 年 5 月，但在 2016 年基于对储存的血清样本进行的血清学检测（噬斑减少中和试验）进行回顾性诊断。我们的报告提供了进一步的证据表明寨卡病毒的性传播是可能的。
