Physicians caution pregnant women
about Zika Virus dangers
JENSEN BEACH – With a health emergency declared in some Florida counties heading into the peak of the winter tourist season and predictions of a potential pandemic outbreak of the Zika virus, a virus that can cause birth defects by infecting pregnant women, the professionals at Women’s Health Specialists have joined the Centers for Disease Control to urge pregnant women and their spouses who live in or plan to visit Florida to be on the alert for possible symptoms of the virus. The Zika virus has been confirmed in four Florida counties although there are currently no documented cases of the virus being transmitted in Florida.
The Zika virus can cause Microcephaly in newborns. It literally means “small head,” and infants are usually diagnosed if their head circumference is in the bottom three percent for infants of the same sex and age. Those with the defect often face a host of other symptoms related to the deformity. These problems include seizures, developmental delays, hearing loss and vision problems, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
