A Zika infection was diagnosed in 5 tourists from Germany, Israel, and the United Kingdom who had recently returned from Thailand. They visited the following areas: Phuket, Phi Phi Island, Koh Samui, Khao Lak, Bangkok, and Chang Mai. The country is not classified as an area with a current outbreak at this time (see CDC map).
Optimal mosquito protection around the clock (during the day against dengue, Zika, Chikungunya, etc., at dusk and at night against malaria). In case of fever, paracetamol supplements and hydration. Do not take acetylsalicylic acid-containing medications (e.g., Aspirin®), as they may increase the risk of bleeding. During stays in malaria areas, a differential diagnosis should always be made in case of fever in order to exclude malaria. Detailed recommendations on Zika can be found here.
