| Chan et al. concluded that | “inflammation of various | |
|---|---|---|
| tissues, especially orchitis, may be potential complications | ||
| of Zika virus infection with significant implications on | ||
| disease transmission and male fertility | [5].” Ma et al. |
Nevertheless, these observations might not directly imply that there will be the problem in human. A long term follow-up of human cases for the problem is required [7].
