Microcephaly cases have exceeded the usual average for this date and have identified different causes of their appearance.

However the National Institute of Health, explained that the figure may vary by entities notified belatedly. To date the Institute recorded 50 cases that would be associated with zika, which were discarded 9 and 41 are maintained in research to determine if the virus is the cause of the disease.

Also increased the reporting of other neurological syndromes associated with the virus , if 381 cases of Guillain Barre syndrome, polyneuropathy and other complications are analyzed, they are related to the zika.

The number of Colombians with the virus rose to 58,838 , including 10,812 pregnant women, cases that are within government projections.

The National Institute of Health (NIH) of Colombia is considering whether 41 cases of microcephaly registered in newborns in the country are related to the virus zika, which so far has infected 58,838 people in the country.

According to the latest bulletin of the INS, to date were recorded 50 cases of microcephaly in newborns, nine of them were negative for zika.

The agency, which warned that the number of cases may vary "because of the late notification," pointed out that compared to the monthly historical average, "one would expect a cumulative 30 cases in the same period."

Regarding the Guillain-Barré syndrome and other complications associated with zika, there were 381 cases "with febrile illness consistent with previous virus infection."

According to government estimates Colombia, 500 babies may be born with microcephaly in the country caused by zika. A similar number of people can be a victim of Guillain-Barre syndrome.Therefore, the authorities suggested in a resolution that women should not remain pregnant during the virus expansion.

Of the total infected, the INS has raised the number to 58,383 people, including 10,812 pregnant women.

BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia recorded 3,114 new cases infected with the virus Zika in the last week, bringing the total since the epidemic began amounted to 58,838, including 10,812 pregnant, reported Saturday the National Institute of Health.

The weekly epidemiological bulletin revealed that 381 cases have been reported of neurological syndromes (Guillain-Barre syndrome, ascending polyneuropathy, and similar neurological conditions) with a history of illness compatible with Zika infection.

The report also reported 35 cases of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in children under 15 years. The PFA is characterized by extreme muscle weakness and complete loss of reflexes.

Colombia is the second country with more cases of Zika in Latin America and the Caribbean after Brazil. The epidemic in Colombia began in October last year.

But so far, health authorities the South American country have not officially reported any cases of children born with microcephaly associated with Zika virus.

Even much information about Zika including whether the virus transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito actually causes microcephaly, a congenital defect that causes the head is abnormally small and that brain development is not complete is unknown.

Brazil has confirmed more than 740 cases of microcephaly and finds that most are related to infections in mothers Zika. more than 4,200 additional suspected cases are investigated.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said Zika as a global health emergency because it has spread rapidly and "alarming" way, with the risk to affect up to four million people in America.

The virus has also been linked to Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that can weaken muscles and cause paralysis.

 

Although there is no preventive vaccine Zika, the world's leading pharmaceutical work in search of an antigen against the virus.

Colombia studies 41 microcephaly cases for possible relation to Zika

Published March 26, 2016

EFE

Colombia's National Health Institute, or INS, is making a study to determine whether 41 cases of newborns with microcephaly - unusually small heads - are related to contagion by the Zika virus, which up to now as infected a total of 58,838 people.

According to the latest INS bulletin, as of the 11th week of this year a total of 50 microcephalic babies have been born, only nine of whom tested negative for Zika.

The institute, which warned that the number of cases could vary "due to the late notification" of the phenomenon, noted that according to the historic monthly average of microcephaly in the country, "a total of 30 cases was to be expected by the same date."

With respect to the Guillain Barre neurological syndrome, polyneuropathies and other complications associated with Zika, the epidemiological vigilance system has been notified about 381 cases "with a history of feverish illness compatible with infection" by the virus.

According to estimates of the Colombian government, some 500 microcephalic babies could be born in the country due to Zika, while a similar number of people could suffer from Guillain Barre syndrome, which prompted its suggestion that couples resolve "not to start a pregnancy" while the virus continues to spread.

With regard to the total number of people infected, the INS updated the number to 58,838 people, of whom 10,812 are pregnant women.

The Zika virus, transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the same that spreads dengue fever and Chikungunya, can cause fever, red eyes without secretion or itching, skin rashes with red and white spots, and, with less frequency, muscle and joint pain. EFE
