Microcephaly and congenital Zika syndrome (1.6)

The tragic link between Zika virus and cases of microcephaly in newborns has now been confirmed, while a range of other birth defects are being explored and collectively termed as congenital Zika syndrome. Here Dr Hannah Kuper and Professor Laura Rodrigues, who works with the Microcephaly Epidemic Research Group (MERG) in Brazil, reflect on what a case of microcephaly can mean for babies and their families, in addition to how the links between Zika and microcephaly in the current outbreak were initially recognised, investigated, and later agreed upon by world organisations. © London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
