Doc: Microcephaly cases in Malaysia rare and no significant increase thus far

PETALING JAYA: There has been no indication of an increase in microcephaly cases in Malaysia so far, but testing may be considered for pregnant women with fever, says Asia-Pacific Paediatric Association secretary-general Datuk Dr Zulkifli Ismail.

He said that it was not a huge concern currently because microcephaly cases were still very rare in the country and the cause of it in Brazil had not been established.
