Tegucigalpa, Honduras
What is feared may become a reality, the zika tropical virus may have already entered the country and may be in Tegucigalpa.
A woman resident of Francisco Morazan may be the first affected by this new disease.
"There is a suspected case, but we can not confirm until the laboratory does not tell us is positive, and he took the tests and the laboratory should confirm," he told the Herald Karla Pavon, head of the Metropolitan Region.
The lady had traveled to the south of the country at least two weeks.
Significantly, it is in that specific area where there has been a significant rise of dengue cases in the last month.
After returning from his trip, the lady had visited several relatives in the German colony, Comayag?ela.
After that the lady would have stayed a few days in the neighborhood of La Pe?a, just Comayag?ela sector.
