Abstract
The article focuses on the outbreak of Zika virus disease in American Samoa in 2016. It mentions the increase in cases of acute febrile rash illness in the country from December 2016 to January 2016, a case of laboratory-confirmed Zika virus infection involving a traveler who visited the country and the collaboration of the American Samoa Department of Health (ASDoH) with other agencies to establish laboratory capacities in which 27% of specimens tested were positive of Zika virus infection.
