Zika"A panel of at least two doctors will provide close consultation to parents in discussing the option of pregnancy termination in microcephaly cases," Dr Tawee Chotpitayasunond, a specialist at the Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health, a unit of the Medical Services Department, said yesterday.Under Thai law, pregnancies may be terminated on reasonable grounds such as a serious disease when the foetus is not over 24 weeks old.Late last week, Thailand confirmed its first two cases of microcephaly, a birth defect marked by small head size that has been linked to Zika."Not all babies born to Zika-infected women get microcephaly.The odds are 1-30 per cent," said Tawee, who was speaking as the chairman of a meeting on the guidelines for caring for expectant women who are suspected of carrying the Zika virus.The meeting brought together medical specialists from various hospitals as well as Professor Pisek Lumpikanon, president of the Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.Pisek said the guidelines were prepared and released to address Zika risks.For example, if pregnant women suffer Zika-related symptoms such as a skin rash, joint pain or eye inflammation, they must immediately undergo urine and blood tests.
