Zika Virus Found in Aborted Baby's Brain

"The International Olympic Committee is not considering postponing the games in Brazil this fall in the wake of the Zika virus's spread, the group's top medical official said Thursday". This marks the first reports of American women who got the illness and then miscarried, although the Washington Post notes that miscarriages in women with Zika have been found in Brazil, the epicenter of the Zika outbreak.

The 25-year-old mother, who requested a termination after a prognosis of severe brain disease in her baby, had lived and volunteered in Natal, northeast Brazil, before becoming pregnant.

Dr. Nesheiwat noted that "symptoms of Zika infection are usually mild".

"Sometimes it could be obvious fairly early on and sometimes it may not be obvious at all or there may be no impact", Dr Taylor said about the risks to the pregnant woman's child.
