They deny that baby with microcephaly in Panama have died from zika21/3/16 - 02:45 PMThe minister also said that the mother of the victim was never diagnosed with the virus, which could suffer asymptomatically as with 80% of cases. 1Redacción/EFE The newly born who died last week in Panama had "multiple malformations," including microcephaly, and his death "was not by zika" although authorities detected the virus in the umbilical cord, he said today Panamanian Health Minister Javier Terrientes. "We knew coming (baby) with multiple malformations incompatible with life (...) was not a death zika" said the minister in an interview with local television, in which he said that the confirmed cases of the disease in the country they are counted today in 149. Terrientes reiterated that after the death of baby exams rigor, including the zika were made, and the virus was found in the umbilical cord, as already reported last Friday in a press conference the director of Health, Itza Barahona Mosca. The minister also said that the mother the victim was never diagnosed with the virus, which could suffer asymptomatically as with 80% of cases. From agreement to official information, the baby was born prematurely at 31 weeks gestation, last Thursday, and barely survived four hours. http://www.panamaamerica.com.pa/nacion/niegan-que-bebe-con-microcefalia-en-panama-haya-muerto-por-zika-1018792#

Second Zika case confirmed in Fort Bend CountyKHOU Staff, KHOU.com4:13 p.m. CDT March 21, 2016(Photo: Houston Health Department) CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREFORT BEND COUNTY – Health officials here confirmed another Zika case in the county Monday. Officials didn’t release details on the person or where he or she had traveled. Health officials said they expect that information to be released some time Tuesday. There have been two confirmed cases of Zika in Fort Bend County, six in Harris County and six in the city of Houston. The numbers are expected to go up when the weather heats up. The Zika virus is spread to people primarily through the bite of an infected Aedesspecies or yellow fever mosquito. Unlike other breeds, the Aedes mosquitoes are most active during the day. The most common symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week after being bitten by an infected mosquito. People usually don’t get sick enough to go to the hospital and rarely die of Zika. Zika virus can spread from a pregnant woman to her baby during pregnancy. It has been linked to microcephaly, a serious birth defect of the brain in babies of mothers who had the virus while pregnant. The virus can also be sexually transmitted. There is no vaccine to prevent or medicine available to treat Zika virus. The best way to avoid Zika virus infection is to prevent mosquito bites. Mosquito repellent will be a must-have this spring and summer and there are other precautions you should take. “It breeds in containers,” said Dr. Mustapha Debound, Director of Harris County Mosquito Control. “Empty them, drain them so that we can deny the mosquito to breed in our backyards or front yards.”

Second Confirmed Case Of Zika Virus In KentuckyBy Ja'Nel Johnson Photo: Wikimedia CommonsClick to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window) HEALTHMarch 21, 2016A Western Kentucky man has tested positive for Zika virus, according to the Kentucky Department of Public Health. The man became infected with the virus after traveling in a Caribbean country, according to DPH. The agency did not identify the country. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the test results to DPH Monday. The agency said the man has fully recovered from the illness. Zika, an infectious viral illness, is primarily spread through the bite of a mosquito that carries the virus. Zika is not known to be circulating in the mosquito population in Kentucky – or any other part of the United States. RELATED STORY What Kentuckians Need To Know About The Zika VirusThe virus is linked to the birth defect microcephaly, a congenital condition associated with incomplete brain development and abnormal smallness of the head. It has also been associated with Guillain-Barre syndrome, which can cause paralysis in individuals who have been infected. Earlier this month, a Louisville man who had recently been traveling in a Central American country tested positive for the virus. DPH said they expected him to fully recover. WFPL previously reported on the state’s effort to prepare for Zika virus. Vickie Yates Glisson, secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, said the agency — through the Department of Public Health — has been preparing for a potential Zika case for several months.

Two more Delawareans test positive for Zika Jen Rini, The News Journal3:58 p.m. EDT March 21, 2016 (Photo: Moises Castillo, AP) Two more Delawareans have tested positive for the Zika virus, state officials confirmed Monday. A adult male who took a January trip to a Zika-affected region contracted the virus and and an adult female who traveled in late February also tested positive. She is not pregnant. Both cases were mild and risk of infection to others is extremely low, according to a release from the Delaware Division of Public Health. "We are not surprised that there are additional Zika cases in Delaware given how often people travel and that the virus is now so widespread in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean,” said Dr. Karyl Rattay, director of the division of public health in a statement. "With the upcoming spring break and a potential for even more travel to the countries where Zika is common, DPH reminds people to avoid being bitten and, if a woman is pregnant or trying to get pregnant, postpone travel if at all possible, and talk to your doctor if you plan to travel. It is also important to consider the risk of sexual transmission of the virus, and to use condoms if it is possible the male sexual partner has been exposed to the virus.” Delaware recorded its first Zika case in February. A woman was bitten by an infected mosquito during international travel. She was not pregnant. The mosquito-borne virus is most commonly found in Africa, Southeast Asia and South America. Symptoms of Zika include fever, rash, joint pain and pink eye. Typically they present in the first two to seven days after infection, about 80 percent of those exposed to the virus experience symptoms at all. However, the virus can be passed from mother to baby in utero and causes birth defects. Zika made national headlines following its connection to birth defects in babies born to women infected during pregnancy. It is linked specifically to microcephaly, a condition where a baby's head is much smaller than expected. Officials urge reproductive-age women to take mosquito prevention measures if they travel to affected areas and discourage pregnant women to travel to the regions where the virus is circulating. There is no vaccine nor any antiviral medications to prevent Zika virus infection. So far, 258 Americans have contracted the Zika virus through international travel, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Eighteen pregnant women have the virus and six cases were transmitted through sexual contact. The CDC knows that a man, once bitten by an infected mosquito, can spread Zika to his sex partners, but there is no conclusive data on how long the virus is present in semen and if it can be transmitted even if the man never develops symptoms. It is not known if a woman can spread the virus to her sex partners nor if it can spread through oral sex. We do know that people cannot contract the virus as they would the common cold. It cannot be spread through coughing, sneezing or kissing, Countries with active Zika virus transmissionAruba, Barbados, Bolivia, Bonaire, Brazil. Colombia, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Cuba, Curacao, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador.

After 4 hours after birth, the baby died. The baby's mother did not notice any symptoms of Zika fever during pregnancy. The assumption that the virus Zika associated with microcephaly in children whose mothers were infected during pregnancy, has been put forward in January.
