Zika virus and unusual job in Austria 感染寨卡病毒的婴儿数量，奥地利城镇征召隐士 内容 More babies than expected affected by Zika virus 感染寨卡病毒的婴儿数量高于预期值 Unusual job vacancy in Austria 奥地利城镇上的一份不同寻常的工作 文字稿 A year after Zika was declared a global emergency, doctors believe the number of babies affected could be much higher. I’m with baby Mirella Vitoria, she’s 15 months old and she is one of those cases doctors are studying right now. She wasn’t born with microcephaly but later on she showed signs that she too was affected by the Zika virus in her mother’s womb. Doctor Ricardo Ximenez is one of the scientists looking into this. They call it congenital Zika syndrome. Even if these babies are born with the normal-sized head, they can have poor vision, hearing loss and other disabilities later in their lives. Research shows that for every baby with microcephaly, ten others might develop these problems. 在寨卡病毒被宣布成为全球性紧急事件的一年后，医生们认为感染病毒的婴儿数可能大量地超出预期。我身边的这名婴儿叫米莱拉·维托里亚（Mirella Vitoria），15个月大的她是医生们正在研究的病例之一。米莱拉出生时并未患小头症，但后来种种迹象表明她早在母亲的子宫中就同样地感染了寨卡病毒。希门内兹（Ricardo Ximenez）医生是调查研究这一现象的科学家之一，他们称其为先天性寨卡病毒综合症。即使这些婴儿在出生时头部大小正常，也可能随后患上视力低弱、听力损失及其它的身体障碍。研究显示，每个小头症婴儿的背后，有相应的另外十名婴儿可能患上这类病症。 |
