A baby born with zika virus

On Tuesday a baby girl was born with the virus called zika. The mother of the baby that was born with zika is originally from Honduras. Although this is not the first baby born with zika it is still something to worry about. The mother came in to the hospital and they did a ultrasound screening on the baby to see if everything was okay. When they did the screening they saw that the baby had significant microcephaly. What this means is that babies that have microcephaly have small brains and small heads which is not normal. The mother came to the United States to visit family members that live in New Jersey but also came here for better medical treatment. During the mother’s second trimester of pregnancy she developed a fever and a rash, two of the symptoms that virus gives you. The virus can give babies microcephaly and other neurological problems.
