Zika : Biggest concern ::
Zika virus has been known to be mild. But if it infects a pregnant woman, the foetus can be
in extreme danger. The virus is known to be able to cross the placental barrier
after entering the womb from the mother's bloodstream and affect the foetus. In Brazil and Colombia several
cases of Microcephaly (babies born
with very small brain) have been linked to
Zika virus attack.
The virus is deceptive because in adults it expresses only
through a mild fever with symptoms similar to
dengue and
chikunguniya
and no hospitalization is required. But if a
pregnant woman gets
infected, although she too would suffer a mild fever with no need for
hospitalization, the virus can attack the foetus to cause irreparable damage if
not tested and diagnosed in time.
