Zika virus found in Hawaiian baby, officials say

Hawaii health officials say a baby recently born with microcephaly at an Oahu hospital was infected with the Zika virus in utero.

In reporting the laboratory finding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the state health department said the child’s mother probably had a Zika infection while living in Brazil last spring. That country is experiencing an outbreak of the mosquito-borne virus and, since October, has had more than 3,500 children born with microcephaly.
