The Zika virus has claimed the life of a Texas baby, health officials reported Tuesday.

The baby, whose mother had traveled to Latin America during her pregnancy, passed away shortly after birth. The baby had microcephaly,  a condition in which a baby's head is abnormally small and, in most cases, brain development is incomplete.

The baby was born in Harris County, which includes Houston. It's the first Zika-related death in Texas.

Fifteen babies in the U.S. have been born with Zika-related birth defects, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Seven women have suffered pregnancy losses due to Zika. Those numbers could grow. Nearly 1,000 pregnant women in the continental U.S. and territories have been infected with Zika.

Texas officials say the mother and her baby posed no risk to others. Last month, Texas reported its first case of microcephaly linked to Zika, also in Harris County.

“Zika’s impact on unborn babies can be tragic, and our hearts are with this family,” said John Hellerstedt, commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services. “Our central mission from the beginning has been to do everything we can to protect unborn babies from the devastating effects of Zika.”
