Popis: We describe characteristics of 17 patients with a Zika virus (ZIKV) infection seen in a Travel Center in Paris during the 4 months following the WHO alert on ZIKV. Sixteen were imported cases, including 13 from the Caribbean. One was a women living in Paris infected through sexual transmission. One case was a pregnant woman. All cases were symptomatic with fever, fatigue and cutaneous rash in 15/17, 13/17, and 16/17, respectively. Leucopenia was observed in 6/17, thrombopenia in 2/17. Diagnosis was confirmed by ZIKV RT-PCR (plasma: 12/17; urine 15/17) or detection of ZIKV IgM (2/17). Two patients were hospitalized but all evolved well.
