About
This infographic highlights the effects of Zika virus on babies exposed in the womb. It explains that while microcephaly (a small head) is a visible symptom, Zika can also impact brain structure and function, leading to conditions like brain calcifications, enlarged ventricles, and other abnormalities. The long-term consequences of Zika exposure remain uncertain but may include hearing and vision problems, developmental delays, seizures, and behavioral issues. Ongoing research aims to understand these effects and improve care for affected children, helping them reach their full potential for healthy lives.
