niman Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Confirmed four cases of microcephaly associated with zika in Panama 0 April 8, 2016Panama City, April 8 (dpa) - Four cases of microcephaly registered in Panama are linked to the Zika virus, which infected 201 people in the country, said today the director of the Gorgas Memorial Institute for Health Studies (ICGES ), Nestor Sosa.The viral disease was registered in this country in 2015 and from there the cases have been increasing. Zika common symptoms are fever, rash, joint pain or conjunctivitis (red eyes). Other symptoms include muscle pain and headache, although there are asymptomatic patients.Sosa told local radio station RPC Radio that microcephaly "is a reality in the country" and issued a call for pregnant women to keep their homes clean and eliminate breeding places of Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits zika.Also, the director of ICGES urged men who have the disease to protect themselves for six months using condoms, because scientific studies warn about the possible transmission of the virus through sex.In March, the Ministry of Health confirmed the death of a baby with microcephaly, which became the first case of this type associated with the Zika virus in Panama.Epidemiological authorities revealed in March that was a first case of Guillain-Barré syndrome in an adult, presumably related to Zika virus.http://sumarium.us/2016/04/08/confirman-cuatro-casos-de-microcefalia-asociados-al-zika-en-panama/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niman Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Wed May 4, 2016 11:13pm EDTRelated: HEALTHPanama confirms four microcephaly cases tied to Zika A health worker carries out fumigation as part of preventive measures against the Zika virus and other mosquito-borne diseases in Panama City February 2, 2016.REUTERS/CARLOS JASSO Four babies born with microcephaly linked to the Zika virus have been confirmed in Panama, the health ministry said on Wednesday, out of 264 total cases of the mosquito-borne infection in the country.Public health officials have been concerned about the possibility of a surge in the rare birth defect, seen in worrisome numbers in Brazil, as the virus spreads rapidly in Latin America and the Caribbean.Fourteen pregnant women have contracted the virus, and six babies who were infected with Zika were born with malformations, including the microcephaly cases, the health ministry said.ADVERTISINGinRead invented by TeadsAccording to the World Health Organization, there is a strong scientific consensus that Zika can cause the birth defect microcephaly as well as Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that can result in paralysis, though conclusive proof may take months or years.Panama's Health Minister Francisco Terrientes said the country is "staying alert to the rapid expansion of the Zika virus," and called on the population to take preventative measures.Brazil said it has confirmed 1,198 cases of Zika-related microcephaly, a rare birth defect marked by small head size that can lead to severe developmental problems in babies. Zika has also been linked to other severe birth defects and with stillbirth.
