Title:	The Challenge of Assessing Microcephaly in the Context of the Zika Virus Epidemic
Author:	Quintó, Llorenç; García-Basteiro, Alberto L.; Bardají, Azucena; González, Raquel; Padilla, Norma; Martínez Espinosa, Flor E.; Arévalo-Herrera, Myriam; Macete, Eusébio; Menéndez, Clara
Abstract:	The present article examines the impact of the current limitations of the microcephaly definition in the context of the Zika virus outbreak. It highlights its dependence on the method used for determining gestational age and other anthropometric parameters, and includes original results of prevalence of microcephaly in four countries from two different continents (Mozambique, Brazil, Guatemala and Colombia). Alternative definitions of microcephaly are proposed to allow the identification of true cases of microcephaly in a more accurate manner.
