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:

TL;DR: To determine the impact of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection on brain structure and functional organization of severely affected adult patients with neurological complications that extend beyond Guillain–Barré Syndrome (GBS)‐like manifestations and include symptoms of the central nervous system (CNS).

TL;DR: There is strong evidence of an important sylvatic cycle for MAYV with most infections occurring near the natural reservoir in rural areas and in individuals more likely to go to the forest and with seroprevalences of up to 18% in some areas of French Guiana.

The Zika virus disease: An overview
Kame A Galán-Huerta,Ana María Rivas-Estilla,E.A. Martinez-Landeros,Daniel Arellanos-Soto,Javier Ramos-Jimenez +4 more
TL;DR: The zika virus is responsible for the most recent fever outbreak in the Americas and the Pacific, starting in 2015, and this febrile illness increases the epidemiological and public health challenge existing in America, where the population is already fighting against dengue and chikungunya fever.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Imaging-Based Approach to Spinal Cord Infection.
TL;DR: This article aims to provide an overview of MRI findings for spinal cord infections with special focus on imaging patterns of infection that are primarily confined to the spinal cord, spinal meninges, and spinal nerve roots.

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.

[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.
