What are the birth defects associated with Zika-virus infection?
['the first time after the discovery of ZIKV, the Brazilian scientists are studying the possibility for the virus to cause severe congenital infection related to microcephaly and serious birth defects due to the time-spatial coincidence of the alarming increase of newborns with microcephaly and the Brazilian ZIKV epidemic.', ' Although a causal relationship between Zika infection during pregnancy and microcephaly is strongly suspected, such a connection has not yet been scientifically proven. ', 'a convincing association between Zika virus infection during pregnancy and birth defects, like microcephaly, among some of the newborns.', 'counseling pregnant women on the risks of fetal microcephaly and other birth defects', 'evidence suggests that congenital Zika virus infection is associated with microcephaly and other adverse pregnancy and infant outcomes.', 'the virus has been linked to congenital malformations, including microcephaly and other severe neurological diseases, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome. ', ' severe birth defects, such as microcephaly, have been linked to infection during early pregnancy.', 'n can be prenatally passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that intrauterine Zika virus infection is a cause of microcephaly and serious brain anomalies, but the full spectrum of anomalies has not been delineated. ', 'Although the full spectrum of adverse reproductive outcomes caused by Zika virus infection is not yet determined, a distinctive phenotype-the congenital Zika syndrome-has emerged.', 'The current Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak is associated with high numbers of human congenital birth defects', 'However, ZIKV infection in early pregnancy has been associated with severe birth defects, including microcephaly and other developmental issues. ', 'Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is a new emerging threat around the globe which might be responsible for microcephaly and Guillain-Barre syndrome in the infants. ', 'Zika virus infection during pregnancy is a cause of microcephaly and other severe birth defects ']
