Colombia doctor reports first case of Zika-linked microcephaly: The first case of birth defect microcephaly linked to the mosquito-borne Zika virus has appeared in Colombia, a doctor said on Friday, although the national health institute said it had no information on the case and could not confirm it.
"One case does not prove an overall link between
the virus and microcephaly, Rodriguez-Morales told Reuters in a phone
interview, but his team has ruled out other potential causes of the
defect in this child, including rubella, herpes, syphilis and
toxoplasmosis."
We'd certainly need to see more evidence before a compelling case could be made.
