LA County Doctors Report Patients With Zika Virus Symptoms


Several doctors have contacted the Los Angeles County Public Health Department asking for blood tests for patients exhibiting symptoms of the Zika virus, the department said Friday.

A pregnant woman was among those patients.

The testing will be performed by the federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, which so far has confirmed 12 cases nationwide.  California at this point is not among the handful of states that have the materials to perform the test to identify the virus, which was unseen in the United States until recently.
