John weeps. Weeps incessantly, wet with sweat, even using only a disposable skirt steak. It seems bloated. Chora blaring on the balcony of the four rooms where he lives with his mother home, father and five brothers in Pau Yellow Beach in Paulista, in the metropolitan region of Recife. The heat is scorching under the tiles of asbestos. I do not know if the crying is heat, hunger, dirty diaper or pain. You know, however, how to quiet it. Just take the medicine: the dose of Rivotril.
He has microcephaly caused by zika, viruses transmitted by the Aedes aegypti, the same vector of dengue and chikungunya. The first cases of zika were officially reported a year ago in April 2015, in Bahia. Between September and October, pregnant women who had the virus began to give birth to babies with smaller heads. Tens. Hundreds. According to the Ministry of Health, 1,113 cases of malformation were confirmed - 189 relate to the zika. This week, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) said that "no doubt" the cause.
In children like John, 7 months, almost everything is an enigma to science. Imagine for parents. The heartrending cry is just one of the challenges. The father, Fabio da Silva Araujo, 34, or can explain how you will raise the child. It is without a contract for two years and lives nozzles. The mother, Neide Maria Ferreira da Silva, 41, says he does not understand very well what is microcephaly, but you know that your experience is not worth much: John is the 12th child. It is twin brother of Ana, who does not have the malformation.
John cries in Neide's lap. The nearby Valeria Gomes Ribeiro, 45, takes the boy. Turns to face. Beside. Balance. John will quieting. Now, though, he looks into the void. It seems absent. It's hard. stiff back. rigid legs. Little arms retracted. "He is like this. Nervous. Durinho half. 's Disease. But the remedy soothes, "Valerie said.
Rivotril and Neuleptil, both black stripe, are just some of the medications used to control anxiety that were adopted in the first months of life babies to calm the crying.
"They are children with neurological disorders, and who has this type of change is often more irritated," says Danielle Cruz, microcephaly Laboratory coordinator of the Integrative Medicine Institute Professor Fernando Figueira (IMIP). "Some are quiet, but others we just calm down with medicine." Rivotril gained ground because it has the version drops. "We need to go fumbling to find the right amount."
Without standard disconcerting reality. As a new anomaly, microcephaly caused by zika has not been tested, approved and prescribed treatment. It is being developed as children grow and consequences arise - these consequences which, in turn, have a pattern. There are mild cases, other critics and some fatal: 48 babies died in Pernambuco, not microcephaly, but the weaknesses derived from it. Experts acknowledge that they have to predict tomorrow. "It's all new," says neurologist Anna Van Der Linden, the IMIP.
Ana is one of the doctors who found that there was a microcephaly outbreak in the state and monitor the evolution of the cases - and treatment. "In the first two months, they wept. Now came the seizures. Most have a good hearing, but we found that the formation of the vision is compromised. "
For mothers, the pilgrimage imposed by the daily dedication to multiple tests, coming and going to hospitals and drug testing is an added pain. "I live between a rock and a hard place," says the housewife Gabriela Ananias, 31. The son Lucas, 6 months, three began treatment with antiepileptic Sabril. Unable to buy the medicine, which is not in the public and costs between R $ 300 and R $ 350, it has resorted to the help of friends and relatives. "I did not want to give the medicine because it is very strong, but I had no choice. He was having more than 50 seizures a day. "The baby had been treated with Gardenal but did not respond well.
At 8 months, Marcela also had to treat seizures. Accompanied by the Oswaldo Cruz University Hospital team, she takes Trileptal. The mother, the maid Maria do Carmo da Silva, 32, is not satisfied. "My daughter was busy, but ate well and I could do it exercises that physiotherapist taught," he says. "Since I started taking the medicine, just sleep and vomits a lot, but if I do not give, I regret just because there shivering and crying are strong."
Worst of all is that nobody, not experts, know that limitation will cause microcephaly and what treatment is appropriate. Juliana da Silva, 22, and defines the situation. Pedro Henrique, 5 months, cries a lot, but does not take drugs, I smiled at her, do physical therapy. Still, she lives tense. "I do not know what it will be when you wake up tomorrow."
