Almost 70,000 cases of zika in Colombia since October, more than 12,000 pregnant
Colombia recorded 68,630 people infected zika, more than 12,000 in embrazadas, in a phase of decline of the epidemic from October to date has left two cases of microcephaly associated with the virus, the National Institute of Health (NIH) reported.
According to the latest epidemiological bulletin published Saturday in the week from 3 to 9 April, 231 new confirmed cases and 3,560 suspected zika were reported.
Since the beginning of the epidemic in October they have been reported "3,292 confirmed cases and 65,338 suspects clinic." Of these, 12,380 are pregnant.
Colombia Thursday reported the first two cases of microcephaly associated with the Zika virus, a day after US scientists conclude that this disease causes disease and other brain defects in fetuses.
Another 15 cases of microcephaly still under study to determine if they are associated with zika, and is expected to until September cases of this cranial malformation in babies can reach 300, less than the initially estimated figure.
