Common Symptoms Of The Zika Virus

Weakness

Weakness is one of the most frequently encountered symptoms in patients with the Zika virus. The patient may notice they have trouble lifting items and with other routine tasks that would not normally be difficult. Doctors can assess a patient's level of weakness by performing a physical exam. During the exam, the doctor will gently move the patient's joints, and grip strength, sensation, and coordination may also be observed. As with fatigue, the weakness associated with the Zika virus normally lasts less than a week, and it may be so mild that patients attribute it to simply being tired. If weakness occurs along with other symptoms, gets worse, or lasts longer than a week, the patient should inform their doctor.
