a

Infants were laboratory-confirmed with ZIKV infection by rRT-PCR within 1 wk of symptom onset at 1–12 mo of age.

b

Preterm birth refers to an infant born at less than 37 wk of age.

c

Percentiles were based on sex- and age-adjusted using World Health Organization standards.

d

One of the children with hypotonia had a diagnosis of Down syndrome, and the other child had sensorineural hearing loss.

e

Two of these three children did not receive diagnostic ABR.

f

One child with a structural abnormality had retinal scarring and reported congenital toxoplasmosis, and one child had an optic nerve pit.

g

Two children with possible visual impairment had diagnoses of strabismus, independent from those children with structural abnormalities.

h

Percentages may not sum to 100 due to rounding.
