ASUNCION – The government of Paraguay said on Wednesday that health officials have registered the country’s first two instances of Zika-infected mothers’ giving birth to babies with abnormally small skulls, a condition known as microcephaly. The cases involve a boy in the eastern province of Alto Parana and a girl in the central province of Paraguari, respectively. Both mothers experienced red skin rashes typical of Zika. The two babies are in stable condition, Health Surveillance Director Agueda Cabello told the press. Neither infant required resuscitation or any other extraordinary measures at birth, she said, adding that the newborns will be closely monitored and provided with stimulation. In November 2015, Paraguay reported its first six cases of Zika virus in the city of Pedro Juan Caballero, which sits on the border with Brazil, the country hardest hit by the outbreak.
