%X Background: Zika virus remained silent for few decades after its first recognition in 1947. Recently, Zika drew global attention due to the outbreak in Pacific island and Latin Americas. The concern was escalating given the shared vector of Zika and dengue with possible deleterious complications. Surabaya as one of the largest cities in Indonesia with high mobility of people is endemic to dengue. This study was aimed to detect Zika infection during dengue outbreaks in Surabaya.
%K This was a surveillance study involving patients visiting 4 public hospitals and 8 primary health care centres (PHCs). Patients were recruited if they were suspected to have dengue infection based on WHO guidelines (1997). The recruitment was based on the attendance of the patients at the healthcare facilities until the maximum quota was fulfilled. Dengue serological diagnostic confirmation was based on non-structural protein 1 (NS1) and/or immunoglobulin M (IgM) detection. Zika virus infection was examined using real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test.
