Illinois pregnant woman with Zika miscarries

Not sure if the miscarriage was due to Zika, but they didn't say it wasn't.    She was one of the two pregnant women we posted news about on here a couple weeks ago.  Don't like having to post news on the poor woman like this as a study, as it's a shame about what happened, but it is what it is.


 
A Romeoville woman one of three people in Illinois to contract the Zika virus. Samantha Mejia, who was pregnant at the time, got sick after a trip to Honduras.

"We hadn't heard about it all before we left. And we got there and his family mentioned it to us," she said.

The virus is spread by mosquitoes and is suspected of causing a birth defect that results in babies born with abnormally small heads.

Doctors were concerned for Mejia's unborn child. But during her first ultrasound, they found she had miscarried. Now she and her husband are worried for his family in Honduras.

"His sister is pregnant right now, so we're very concerned for her and her baby. And we don't really know what's going to happen," Meija said.

A man and another pregnant woman are the other two Zika patients in Illinois.

Comment:  My apologies to the poor woman for posting this -

Zika virus could cause miscarriage, birth defects

The Zika virus may also affect a woman's pregnancy and cause a miscarriage. British health authorities provided Dr. Lyle Peterson, director of the CDC's division of vector-borne diseases, with two tissue samples from pregnancies that ended in miscarriage. They confirmed through genetic analysis that Zika virus was present in both samples.
