niman Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Zika: A case of microcephaly confirmed in GuyanaKeywords: Virus Zika , microcephaly , French GuianaBy Thomas Delozier - the 20.06.2016A first case of microcephaly linked to Zika was spotted in Guyana while 595 pregnant women are infected with the virus. A few months after the Martinique , another French department, Guyana, presents a case of microcephaly linked to Zika. The Regional Health Agency (ARS) Friday confirmed the presence of this abnormality in a fetus whose mother, infected with the virus, was under ultrasound monitoring strengthened since April.This monitoring, which allowed the diagnosis, will continue until delivery.Characterized by a perimeter and a head diameter less than normal, microcephaly causes many different disorders ranging from mild eye problems to mental impairment. According to a recent study, a pregnant woman infected with Zika during pregnancy have between 1 and 13% risk of giving birth to a child victim of this disease.Since the beginning of the epidemic, 595 pregnant women had a positive result in biological virus in Guyana. A total of 7830 cases "clinically suggestive" were reported in the department. "Despite the weekly decline in patient, the epidemic continues on the Guyana coastline and Oyapock" warns the LRA.The agency also cautions that "pregnant women should be especially careful and adopt more stringent protective measures." That requires a "protective clothing" using "repellents adapted" as well as "safe sex throughout pregnancy."Friday, June 17, Margaret Chan, Director General of WHO, called for more funding for research into Zika requesting $ 122 million to major donors: "We need a coordinated international action to improve monitoring and speed up development of diagnostic tests and vaccines to protect populations at risk, "she said. For now, only 4 million were collected by the organization.http://sante.lefigaro.fr/actualite/2016/06/20/25112-zika-cas-microcephalie-confirme-guyane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niman Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Guyana: first case of microcephaly confirmed Friday 17 June, the Regional Health Agency (ARS) confirmed a case of brain malformation for a baby, still in the womb of his mother. The pregnant woman, a resident of Cayenne, French Guiana, a region where the Zika virus has spread, was bitten by the tiger mosquito. The 36 year old woman had not seen a doctor in their first trimester of pregnancy, according to information Site France-Guyane.Microcephaly, detected by ultrasoundTo detect this congenital malformation, expectant mothers undergo ultrasound monitoring strengthened since the arrival of the tiger mosquito . It is through an ultrasound that microcephaly baby was found. The health professionals who follow this future mother suspected microcephaly since April, after having had the results of a blood test: the latter revealed that she had been in contact with the tiger mosquito. For the ARS, the future mother will be very medically monitored in the coming weeks.Two choices are now offering this future mom: keep her baby despite this malformation likely source of heavy handicaps or terminate her pregnancy . Currently, she is in her 32th week of pregnancy , but according to Anne-Marie McKenzie doctor, medical director of the public health and safety and the day before: "his choice will be respected whatever. "Detect the disease as soon as possibleIn Guyana, we count to date 595 mothers with a positive result for the biological Zika virus, according to ARS. It is therefore very important that pregnant women be careful and adopt protective measures, recommends the Regional Health Agency. The first action is to protect the risk of bites (by removing stagnant water and using insecticides and repellents and mosquito nets), the second to be followed carefully by a midwife or gynecologist from that we know pregnant and consult as soon as it is known to have been piqued.Remember, most cases of Zika are asymptomatic (without obvious symptoms). And have protected sex if you live or reside in an area affected by the epidemic because Zika is also a sexually transmitted disease .In areas affected by the epidemic, there is a weekly decrease in the number of cases"clinically suggestive" , yet the epidemic peak remains. Prudence therefore for all moms and dads.http://www.neufmois.fr/au-fil-de-lactu/guyane-premier-cas-de-microcephalie-confirme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
