Zika- virus
A baby delivered in new jersey was the first in the continental U.S. that was born with zika virus related brain condition. Doctors say that the “Zika virus linked to microcephaly -- the first reported case of the birth defect, which is marked by a partially formed brain.” The mother had gotten the Zika virus while in Honduras. This issue involves a baby girl that was also born with intestinal and vision issues.Microcephaly is a birth defect where a baby’s head is smaller than expected compared with other babies the same age and sex. According to CDC,”babies with this condition typically have smaller brains that might have not developed properly.” They have been telling pregnant woman not to travel to places where the Zika virus is spreading. Since there is no vaccine for it health professionals advise wearing long sleeve shirts and pants. This does not relate to me in anyway because i have never been affected by this disease.
