Last night was born a child with microcephaly associated with the Zika virus, transmitted by the aedes aegypti mosquito disease, in the hospital of Puerto Cortes.

Health Minister, Yolani Batres said they are doing case studies to confirm whether this case is the zika microcephaly.

Zika virus is associated with fetal malformations such as microcephaly, and neurological disorders such as Guillain-Barre syndrome.
