Microcephaly Caused By The Zika Virus

Maria Eduarda was diagnosed with Microcephaly when she was born and abandoned by her biological mother and adopted by Tia, Miriam Pereira. The doctors said only 3 months of life, but last Tuesday Maria Eduarda completed a year of life, in Olinda, northeastern Brazil on November 24, 2016. Recently the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has published a study that describes 13 cases in the states of Pernambuco and Ceará of infants whose mothers had zika during pregnancy. Some babies infected with the zika virus are apparently healthy but have brain malformations and then develop microcephaly. (Photo by Diego Herculano/NurPhoto)
