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.

Antiviral Compounds from Codiaeum peltatum Targeted by a Multi-informative Molecular Networks Approach.

TL;DR: From a set of 292 Euphorbiaceae extracts, the use of a molecular networking (MN)-based prioritization approach highlighted three clusters (MN1-3) depicting ions from the bark extract of Codiaeum peltatum that afforded two new daphnane-type diterpenoid orthoesters (DDO) and a new major structural class of DDO.

Guillain-Barré Syndrome and Healthcare Needs during Zika Virus Transmission, Puerto Rico, 2016.

TL;DR: To assist with public health preparedness activities, the number of expected cases of Zika virus in Puerto Rico and associated healthcare needs are estimated and long-term care needs are predicted to be 3–5 times greater than in years with no Zika virus.

[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

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.
