HARTFORD — A Connecticut woman who traveled to Central America and became pregnant while there has been found to have the Zika virus, the state’s Department of Public Health said on Tuesday.

The department said the woman, whose name, age and hometown have not been released, became ill with a fever and a rash while traveling about a month ago. She was tested for Zika after returning to Connecticut, the department said.

The woman returned to Central America and the agency is working with her doctor in Connecticut, the department said. She is the third Connecticut resident to receive a diagnosis of Zika.

Connecticut health officials did not specify where the woman traveled in Central America or her reasons for being there.
