Wed Mar 2, 2016 5:46am ESTRelated: HEALTHCuba reports first case of Zika in Venezuelan doctorHAVANA | BY MARC FRANK An Aedes aegypti mosquitoe is seen inside the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) insect pest control laboratory in Seibersdorf, Austria, February 10, 2016.REUTERS/LEONHARD FOEGER Cuba reported its first case of Zika on Wednesday, diagnosed in a 28-year-old Venezuelan doctor whose husband and brother-in-law previously contracted the virus in their home country. The World Health Organization declared the Zika outbreak, suspected of causing thousands of birth defects in Brazil, an international health emergency on Feb. 1, although much about the virus remains unknown. The patient arrived in Cuba on Feb. 21 to take a post-graduate course in medicine along with 37 others. She reported a fever a day later and was diagnosed with Zika on Monday. She was recovering well in hospital, the Health Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday. Her husband was diagnosed with Zika two months ago and her brother two weeks before she traveled, the statement said. Zika is carried by mosquitoes, which transmit the virus to humans, though the U.S. Centers for Disease Control said on Feb. 23 it was investigating possible cases of sexual transmission. The outbreak has spread to many parts of Latin America and the Caribbean and the WHO estimates Zika could eventually affect as many as four million people in the region. The Cuban government, which has fumigated neighborhoods and homes for decades to contain dengue -- also a mosquito-borne virus and a close cousin of Zika -- put doctors on alert for the virus weeks ago and ramped up mosquito eradication efforts. The WHO is investigating a "strongly suspected" relationship between Zika and microcephaly, a condition marked by abnormally small head size. There is no vaccine or treatment for the virus and some 80 percent of people infected show no symptoms. (Reporting by Marc Frank; Editing by Daniel Trotta and John Stonestreet)

Brazil: 82 microcephaly cases confirmed by Zika infectionAPAnti-mosquito poster in Brazil The number of confirmed cases of severe cranial malformations in newborns in Brazil continues to grow. In 82 cases, microcephaly authorities were able to show a mother Zika infection. The confirmed cases of cranial malformations in babies whose mothers became infected with the Zika virus during pregnancy, have doubled in Brazil in the past two weeks. In 82 of 641 microcephaly cases Zika-infection is in the mothers have been detected, said the Ministry of Health. Two weeks ago, the figure was 41 confirmed cases. The authorities suspect that the majority of microcephaly births preceded the mother a Zika disease. Currently, 4222 more suspected cases of cranial malformations are investigated. Among the 641 registered since October 2015 microcephaly cases so far 139 babies died from the serious defect. Normally there is a year in Brazil around 150 cases of microcephaly. A suspected microcephaly there when the baby comes with a head circumference of 32 centimeters or less to the world. It is still the suspicion that the Zika virus can cause the skull malformation and thus mental retardation in babies, but not definitively proven. It run scientific research on the suspected relationship. As secured, however, that the virus which cause severe nerve disease called Guillain-Barré syndrome can. Condoms for safety The Zika virus has been detected in about 40 countries, mainly in South America, Brazil is the most affected. The number of Zika infections is estimated there to 1.5 million. The virus is spread primarily by diurnal mosquitoes. Healthy develop flu-like symptoms, such as mild fever generally. Even rash and red eyes occur.Anyone who has ever been infected, is immune to the virus. Pregnant women in non-Zika areas recommends the US health authority CDC currently as a precautionary measure to use condoms or avoid sex if their partner was in a recent Zika infection area.Even Pope Francis announced that women given the risk of Zika transmission should use contraceptives. British researchers had previously reported that they had recently been established the pathogen 62 days after infection in the semen of a man.In addition, earlier in the week that was first transmitted through sexual contact case in France known. A woman had been infected with her partner, who had recently returned from a trip to Brazil. But she is not pregnant, fortunately. http://www.spiegel.de/gesundheit/diagnose/zika-virus-82-mikrozephalie-faelle-nach-infektion-bestaetigt-a-1080226.html

The new report released on Tuesday (1st) also points to 1,046 notifications have been discarded and 641 confirmed for microcephaly and other nervous system disorders, suggestive of congenital infection. In all, 5,909 suspected cases of microcephaly were recorded until 27 February. The 641 confirmed cases occurred in 250 municipalities located in 15 Brazilian states: Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Maranhão, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, Espirito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, Pará, Rondônia, Goiás, Mato Grosso South and Rio Grande do Sul. Already 1,046 cases were discarded because of normal examinations or submit microcefalias and / or changes in the central nervous system by an infectious causes. It should be noted that the Ministry of Health is investigating all cases of microcephaly and other disorders of the central nervous system, informed by the states and the possible relationship with the Zika virus and other congenital infections. Microcephaly can be caused by various infectious agents beyond Zika as Syphilis, Toxoplasmosis, Other Infectious Agents, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus and Herpes Viral. According to the report, the 5,909 cases reported since the beginning of the investigation on 22 October last year - were recorded in 1,143 municipalities in 25 Brazilian states. The Northeast region has 81% of reported cases, and Pernambuco continues with the greatest number of cases that remain under investigation (1672), followed by the states of Bahia (817), Paraíba (810), Rio Grande do Norte (383), Ceará (352), Rio de Janeiro (261), Alagoas (222), Sergipe (192) and Maranhao (192). In all, 139 deaths were reported by microcephaly and / or alteration of the central nervous system after birth (stillbirth) or during pregnancy (miscarriage or stillbirth). Of these, 31 were confirmed to microcephaly and / or alteration of the central nervous system. Other research continue 96 and 12 have been discarded. Of the total confirmed cases of microcephaly, 82 were reported by specific laboratory criteria for Zika virus.However, the Ministry of Health points out that this figure does not represent adequately the total number of cases related to the virus. The folder considers that there was infection Zika most of the mothers who had babies, whose final diagnosis was microcephaly. To date, are with indigenous circulation of Zika virus 22 Brazilian states: Goiás, Minas Gerais, Federal District, Mato Grosso do Sul, Roraima, Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Tocantins, Maranhao, Piaui, Ceara, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraiba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Bahia, Espirito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Paraná. ORIENTATION - The Ministry of Health advises pregnant women to adopt measures to reduce the presence of Aedes aegypti, with the elimination of breeding sites , and protect themselves from mosquito exposure, keeping doors and closed or screened windows, wear pants and shirt sleeve and use repellents allowed for pregnant women.

The World Health Organization declared the Zika outbreak linked to thousands of birth defects in Brazil an international health emergency on Feb. 1, although much about the virus remains unknown. "Test results of the patient hospitalized with a suspected Zika virus last week in Presov, eastern Slovakia, were positive," Cislak told reporters. "The patient is in good health and does not require further treatment," he said. The first two cases of the mosquito-borne Zika virus were confirmed last week in the neighboring Czech Republic, in a man returning from Martinique and a woman who traveled to the Dominican Republic. Much remains unclear about the virus, including whether it causes microcephaly in babies, a condition defined by unusually small heads that can result in developmental problems.
