The Zika Virus might have struck Brazil down, but the country refuses to give up. While the Brazilian government is doing what it can to contain and eliminate the virus in the country, Brazil's doctors are doing what they can to help infants stricken with the disease.

Reuters reports that the victims of the Zika Virus paint many a sad picture. The mosquito-borne disease has left many infants in Brazil with microcephaly, a condition where the infant's brain is not fully developed and has an abnormally small head. So far, Brazil is the country that has been affected the most by the Zika outbreak, with 270 reported cases of the tragic neurological complication.

BBC reports that President Dilma Rousseff is doing what she can to help contain the virus. She has called on society to help in efforts to combat the virus from spreading even further. So far, the Brazilian government said that it will deploy 220,000 troops to eradicate potential breeding grounds of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito.

Meanwhile, doctors are doing what they can to aid the infants who were born with the Zika virus. Many health experts in the country say that they were caught off guard by the entirety of it all, and that many of them don't necessarily have the resources to stop the mosquito or the virus itself.

So far, there is no cure for the disease. The symptoms of the virus are a mild fever with body aches, which is similar to dengue fever.

In Recife, the city that has been struck the worst by the Zika virus, struggles from the effects of the disease. The city has asked Brazil's federal government for 29 million reais in order to help fund efforts against Zika, but has only received 1.3 million so far.

Many of the infants suffer convulsions and are in need of brain stimulus therapy. Insect repellents are also being widely used, causing a shortage in many areas.

Many child neurologists are seeing little to no improvement each day and they can do very little for now, except alleviate the child's discomforts. Most also suffer from vision problems and badly deformed limbs. Some have trouble breathing. 

Even with Brazil's commitment to contain the virus, doctors in the country see the sad scenes every day and many admit that they are helpless to do much in a country where resources are limited and the country's tropical climate makes the mosquitos thrive.
