Five infants have been born with Zika-related microcephaly in Colombia since officials began monitoring the outbreak of the mosquito-borne virus, the country's health authorities said Saturday. The first two Zika-related cases of microcephaly — infants born with abnormally small heads and brains — were reported in mid-April, and three more were reported Saturday in a National Institute of Health (INS) bulletin. Health officials have said they estimate some 300 infants expected to be born between May and September will have Zika-related microcephaly, given the number of infected pregnant women who have not yet given birth.
