GUATEMALA CITY, Dhu-AlQa'dah 14, 1437, August 17, 2016, SPA -- Health officials in Guatemala say a mother who contracted Zika has given birth to a baby with the country's first virus-linked case of microcephaly, according to AP. Dr. Carlos Mejia is the director of infectious diseases at Roosevelt National Hospital. He says there were also two confirmed cases of Zika-related Guillain Barre, which can cause temporary paralysis and in some cases death. Mejia said Wednesday that there are at least two other suspected cases of microcephaly that await confirmation. --SPA 22:49 LOCAL TIME 19:49 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
