*Plus signs (+) indicate positive test results (Ct <38.5) and minus signs (–) indicate negative test results (Ct >38.5 or undetermined) (6). All pregnant women initially tested positive for Zika virus RNA. For some women (patient nos. 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13), data from the initial samples were not available. Ct, cycle threshold; NA, not available; OAE, otoacoustic emissions; pt., patient; S, serum; U, urine.
