Zika virus diagnostic testing and laboratory research increased considerably when Zika virus began spreading through the Americas in 2015, increasing the risk for potential Zika virus exposure of laboratory workers and biomedical researchers. We report 4 cases of laboratory-associated Zika virus disease in the United States during 2016-2019. Of these, 2 were associated with needlestick injuries; for the other 2 cases, the route of transmission was undetermined. In laboratories in which work with Zika virus is performed, good laboratory biosafety practices must be implemented and practiced to reduce the risk for infection among laboratory personnel.
2015年寨卡病毒开始在美洲传播时，寨卡病毒诊断检测和实验室研究大幅增加，这增加了实验室工作人员和生物医学研究人员潜在接触寨卡病毒的风险。我们报告了2016 - 2019年美国4例实验室相关的寨卡病毒病病例。其中，2例与针刺伤有关；另外2例的传播途径未确定。在进行寨卡病毒相关工作的实验室中，必须实施并践行良好的实验室生物安全规范，以降低实验室人员的感染风险。
