Hospital delivers first baby in NJ with Zika birth defect
Description: A woman from Honduras who gave birth to a baby with a Zika-related birth defect came to the United States specifically to give birth. The baby girl was delivered by caesarean section after doctors determined that it was best for the mother and the child. The unidentified mother had contracted the Zika virus outside of the United States, and the baby was born with microcephaly, a condition that causes babies to be born with small heads and brain disorders.
