The initial results PCR reaction for Zika practiced in the blood and tissue of the umbilical cord, as in the amniotic fluid, showed the presence of genetic material of the virus in these tissues. Pending the results of PCR in fetal brain parénquma and RT-PCR tests sent to reference laboratory INHRR. Dr. Rafael Suárez.Obstetra, former Professor of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the Central University of Venezuela Lic. Nahir Martinez, Section of Virology, Institute of Tropical Medicine, Central University of Venezuela Lic. Zoila Moros, Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research Dr. Jaime R.

8 Costa Rica Natives, 2 Foreigners Infected With Zika

MEXICO CITY (Sputnik) – The 24-year-old mother was infected with Zika in January, on the 13th week of her pregnancy, and her unborn baby developed microcephaly as a result and died at 17 weeks, infectologist at the Central University of Venezuela Jaime Torres revealed as cited by the Venezuelan newspaper on Thursday.

 

The Zika virus affects primarily monkeys and humans and is transmitted by daytime-active mosquitoes. Transmission through blood transfusions and sexual intercourse has also been reported.

Zika does not cause serious complications in adults, but it can lead to severe brain defects, such as microcephaly, in newborns.

Emerging Technologies Failing to Combat Spread of Zika Virus - Report

At present, there is no vaccine available to treat the Zika virus. Mosquito control remains crucial to prevent its spread. The diagnosis of Zika virus infections is also very important, especially for the care and monitoring of pregnant women.

 

According to El Nacional, the parents of the dead unborn baby have authorized that samples of umbilical cord, placenta and the fetus’s brain be used for study.

The current Zika outbreak started in Brazil in the spring of 2015. It has since spread across Latin America, with cases having been reported in several European countries and the United States.

Over 300 Zika virus cases and three Zika-related deaths have been confirmed in Venezuela.

Doctors in Venezuela confirmed the first case of microcephaly and fetal death a mother who was infected in the country with the virus zika the beginning of their pregnancy , reported the International Society forInfectious Diseases .

The case adds to the evidence in Brazil on the relationship between zika and microcephaly in infants, which investigates the World Health Organization (WHO), and a report in Colombia of a "probable" case of this anomaly in the fetus of a mother interrupted her pregnancy after suffering the virus.

The baby patient, 24 years old, and had no life in week 17 of gestation and presented "a diagnosis of microcephaly and severe oligoamnios" the medical report signed by four Venezuelan doctors.

The mother showed symptoms of the virus in the first trimester of pregnancy, but at that time or the placenta or the fetus had abnormalities, the study added. the presence of dengue virus, rubella or chikungunya discarded.

In a test that was made to the umbilical cord tissue doctors they found genetic material from the virus zika.

An official of the World Health Organization (WHO) said there is a "growing evidence" about the relationship between the virus and two neurological disorders zika microcephaly and Guillain-Barre syndrome.

In early February, Venezuela reported three deaths and about 5 000 221 patients suspected of having the virus zika, but doctors and non-governmental organizations believe that cases may be many more in a country suffering from an acute shortage of medicines and repellents to avoid the bite of the infected mosquito.

The outbreak was confirmed this year in Panama, Venezuela, El Salvador, Mexico, Suriname, Colombia, Guatemala and Paraguay.

In the circumstances we are living, the situation could be much more dramatic than in other countries in the region, "said Jaime Torres infectious disease specialist at an academic conference that was broadcast on the Internet in February.

Torres, who participated in the study reported the first case of zika relationship with microcephaly in Venezuela, made the warning as 60 percent of the 600,000 pregnant women do not receive adequate prenatal annual control. In most cases, the virus occurs without symptoms that cause alarm.

In Venezuela abortion laws consider as illegal unless threatened the life or health of the woman, but not in the case of the baby.

It is noteworthy that in a test conducted to the tissue of the umbilical cord of the baby in Venezuela  doctors found genetic material of the virus, in addition to this case , the evidence adds in Brazil on the relationship between the disease and microcephaly in fetuses and newborns , which is being investigated by the World Health Organization (WHO).

In addition, in early February in Venezuela three deaths and five thousand 221 patients suspected of suffering were recorded virus Zika , although doctors and organizations reported that the number of cases may be much higher because this is a country that suffers from a severe shortage of medicines and repellents to prevent mosquito bites Aedes aegypti , spread of disease.
