TLDR
This is the first study providing evidence for Zika virus infection causing Guillain-Barré syndrome, and because Zika virus is spreading rapidly across the Americas, at risk countries need to prepare for adequate intensive care beds capacity to manage patients with Guillay-B Barré syndrome.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison study of Zika virus outbreaks in French Polynesia, Colombia and the State of Bahia in Brazil.
TL;DR: It is found that the association of precipitation and ZIKV outbreak was more evident in Colombia than the other two places and the attack rate is unidentifiable with monthly data in Bahia.

Zika virus RNA and IgM persistence in blood compartments and body fluids: a prospective observational study
Mars Stone,Sonia Bakkour,Marion C. Lanteri,Donald Brambilla,Graham Simmons,Roberta Bruhn,Zhanna Kaidarova,Tzong-Hae Lee,Jose Alsina,Phillip C. Williamson,Susan A. Galel,Lisa Lee Pate,Jeffrey M. Linnen,Steve Kleinman,Michael P. Busch +14 more
TL;DR: Determination of viral marker persistence is enhanced by follow-up of blood donors who are pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic, Zika virus RNA-positive, and antibody negative, and replicate, highly sensitive NAATs extend RNA detection in all compartments.

Acute Zika Virus Infection in an Endemic Area Shows Modest Proinflammatory Systemic Immunoactivation and Cytokine-Symptom Associations
Jéssica Barletto de Sousa Barros,Paulo Alex Neves da Silva,Rosemary de Carvalho Rocha Koga,Patrícia Gonzalez-Dias,José Rodrigues do Carmo Filho,Patrícia Resende Alo Nagib,Verônica Coelho,Verônica Coelho,Helder I. Nakaya,Simone Gonçalves Fonseca,Simone Gonçalves Fonseca,Irmtraut Araci Hoffmann Pfrimer +11 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that acute ZIKV infection in a larger cohort resident to an endemic area displays a modest systemic immune activation profile, involving both proinflammatory and immunoregulatory cytokines and chemokines that could participate of virus control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do Vaccines Have a Role as a Cause of Autoimmune Neurological Syndromes
Nicola Principi,Susanna Esposito +1 more
TL;DR: No definitive demonstration of a potential role of vaccines in causing autoimmune neurological syndromes is presently available, so the fear of neurological autoimmune disease cannot limit the use of the most important preventive measure presently available against infectious diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inactivation and removal of Zika virus during manufacture of plasma-derived medicinal products.
Johannes Blümel,Didier Musso,Sebastian Teitz,Tomoyuki Miyabayashi,Klaus Boller,Barbara S. Schnierle,Sally A. Baylis +6 more
TL;DR: Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging mosquito‐borne Flavivirus of major public health concern and the potential for ZIKV transmission by blood transfusion has been demonstrated but inactivation or removal during the manufacture of plasma‐derived medicinal products has not been specifically investigated.

Biggerstaff,Marc Fischer,Edward B. Hayes +19 more
TL;DR: This outbreak of Zika virus illness in Micronesia represents transmission of Zikairus outside Africa and Asia and clinicians and public health officials should be aware of the risk of further expansion of Zika viruses transmission.

Zika Virus (I). Isolations and serological specificity
TL;DR: Cross neutralization tests indicate that Zika virus is not related to yellow fever, Hawaii dengue nor to the FA and GD VII strains of Theiler's mouse encephalomyelitis virus.

TL;DR: The full coding region nucleic acid sequence and serologic properties of the virus were identified and the virus was identified as Crimean-Congo-Wales coronavirus.

[Guillain-Barré syndrome].
TL;DR: High-dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (0.4 g/kg daily for 5 days) and PE are equally effective in intermediate and severe forms and the choice between the two treatments depends on their respective contra-indications and local availability.

First report of autochthonous transmission of Zika virus in Brazil
Camila Zanluca,Vanessa Campos Andrade de Melo,Ana Luiza Pamplona Mosimann,Glauco Igor Viana dos Santos,Claudia Nunes Duarte dos Santos,Kleber Giovanni Luz +5 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis suggests that the ZikV identified belongs to the Asian clade, the first report of ZIKV infection in Brazil, and the result was confirmed by DNA sequencing.
