Families Face Challenges To Provide Care For Brazil's Zika Babies

RECIFE, BRAZIL - DECEMBER 13: Mother Jusikelly da Silva holds her daughter Luhandra, who was born with microcephaly, while wearing her specially designed glasses on December 13, 2016 in Recife, Brazil. As many of the babies born with microcephaly, believed to be linked to the Zika virus, turn one year old in Recife, doctors and mothers are adapting and learning treatments to assist and calm the children. Many suffer a plethora of difficulties including vision and hearing problems with doctors now labeling the overall condition as Ôcongenital Zika syndromeÕ. Authorities have recorded thousands of cases in Brazil in which the mosquito-borne Zika virus may have led to microcephaly in infants. Microcephaly results in an abnormally small head in newborns and is associated with various disorders. The state with the most cases is Pernambuco, whose capital is Recife.
