DMO calls for vigil as infection has been confirmed in State
District Medical Officer V. Jayasree has called for vigil against Zika virus, as the infection has been confirmed in the State. Zika is a contagious disease spread by Aedes species of mosquito and is characterised by fever, headache, body pain, joint pain, red eyes and rashes on the skin. Pregnant women infected by the virus are likely to deliver children with microcephaly (abnormally small head). Other infected people are likely to suffer from Guillain-Barre syndrome (a condition in which the immune system attacks the nerves). Besides bite from infected mosquitoes, the infection may spread through blood transmission and sexual intercourse. As there is no vaccination or treatment protocol for the disease, taking precautions against getting infected is the only solution.
