Our study added knowledge about the neurodevelopment of children exposed to CHIKV during pregnancy by a longitudinal and prospective follow-up, throughout their first 24 months of life. We did not observe a negative impact of exposure to the virus on the neurological examination, global developmental test or measurements of the HC of these children.
