Abstract :

Vector borne disease like zika virus infections is showing worldwide emerging trend over past few years. We report first two cases in pediatric population with atypical presentation in central part of India. The first case had fever, body rashes with seizures and the second case was having intracranial bleeding. However most of the available literature on zika virus infection in pediatric age group is based on congenitally acquired cases. The two cases we are reporting are acquired cases of zika virus infection with atypical presentation.
