COMMISSIONS: Baby Duda: a year in the life of a Zika baby: 22-20170315zika0158

MARCH 15, 2017 -- Although Duda's eyes are sensitive to light and tends to keep her eyes closed, she is mesmerized by its rays and the feeling on her skin, in Recife. Duda has very low vision; she can only see up close and in black and white. Dr. Regina Coeli, director of children's infectious diseases at Oswaldo Cruz University Hospital, said that limited hearing and vision interfere with her development because it is harder for her to be stimulated during the therapies. However, her glasses and hearing aides have helped a lot.
