CHICAGO: Zika infections in Puerto Rico appear to be increasing rapidly, top US health officials said on Friday, raising concerns for dozens if not hundreds of cases of microcephaly. Puerto Rican health officials on Friday reported that 1,726 people in the US commonwealth have been infected with Zika, including a total of 191 pregnant women. The numbers reflect the total number of confirmed Zika cases since the start of the outbreak late last year, a number that reflects largely symptomatic cases of Zika.
