Thais probe babies with microcephaly for Zika link

Thai doctors are running tests to see whether Zika was the cause of microcephaly in two babies whose mothers are infected with the mosquito-borne virus, a health official said Wednesday. If the remaining pair are found to be linked, they could be the first case of Zika-related microcephaly in Southeast Asia, according to the World Health Organisation. “It is too early to conclude if (the other two) had Zika, we need more information,” said Apichai Mongkol, director general of the Department of Medical Sciences.
