Congenital Zika Virus Infection Paradigm: What is in the Wardrobe? A Narrative Review

TL;DR: Based on the available literature, Zika virus infection during pregnancy might lead to a wide array of outcomes other than microcephaly and there is a need for more epidemiological studies in Zika-endemic areas, particularly in Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zika Virus and Perinatal Outcomes: Beyond the Myth

TL;DR: A comparative analysis between the Zika-positive and Zikanegative pregnant women presented with macopapular rash suggest that active Zika virus infection is predictive to the adverse perinatal outcomes: prematurity, fetal growth restriction, microcephaly, and Guillain-Barre syndrome.

Zika virus: An update on epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management

TL;DR: The Zika virus: An update on epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management and the use and distribution in any medium is provided.

Predicted protein interactions of IFITMs which inhibit Zika virus infection [version 1; referees: 1 approved, 1 approved with reservations, 1 not approved]

TL;DR: Ganapathiraju et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed the functional and pathway associations of the interacting proteins, and found that there are several immunity pathways (interferon signaling, cd28 signaling in T-helper cells crosstalk between dendritic cells and natural killer cells), neuronal pathways (axonal guidance signaling, neural tube closure and actin cytoskeleton signaling) and developmental pathways that are associated with these interactors.

Guillain-Barré syndrome: causes, immunopathogenic mechanisms and treatment

TL;DR: The etiology and pathogenesis remain largely enigmatic and the syndrome results in death or severe disability in 9–17% of cases despite immunotherapy, but recent data point towards the role of ganglioside epitopes by immunohistochemical methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Encephalitic Arboviruses: Emergence, Clinical Presentation, and Neuropathogenesis.

TL;DR: The major families of emerging arboviruses that cause neurologic infections, their neuropathogenesis and host neuroimmunologic responses, and current strategies for treatment and prevention of neurologic infection they cause are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advances in Diagnosis, Surveillance, and Monitoring of Zika Virus: An Update.

TL;DR: New insights gained from the recent advances can aid in the rapid and definitive detection of this virus and/or Zika fever and will aid the strategies to design and adopt effective prevention and control strategies to counter this viral pathogen of great public health concern.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurological complications of Zika virus infection.

TL;DR: The increase in the number of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) cases during the ZikV outbreak in the Americas provides epidemiological evidence for the link between ZIKV infection and GBS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zika virus: a new pandemic threat

TL;DR: Due to the large number of people travelling across the borders and some reported cases of transmission of ZIKV via contaminated blood, screening and identification of asymptomatic infected individuals are important.
