On Tuesday, health officials confirmed that two Pennsylvania women who traveled to countries affected by the outbreak of the virus had contracted the illness.
It is unclear whether the Lehigh University student is one of those two women.
Symptoms of the Zika virus include fever, rash, joint pain, conjunctivitis and headache. There is no vaccine or medication available for treating the virus.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has advised pregnant women to avoid traveling to areas impacted by the virus.
