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: Zika virus is associated with a wide range of neurological manifestations, including central nervous system disease, and chikungunya virus appears to have an equally important association with neurological disease in Brazil, and many patients had dual infection.

TL;DR: The results show ROS imbalance, mitochondrial defects and DNA breakage, which have been previously linked to neurological disorders, and may help to explain the observed effects in congenital Zika syndrome related to neuronal loss and motor deficit.

TL;DR: Findings highlight the potential use of AZM as a broad antiviral agent to combat viral infection and to prevent devastating ZIKV-associated clinical outcomes, such as congenital microcephaly.

TL;DR: Because neutralizing antibodies to EDE have therapeutic potential against ZIKV, in addition to their established inhibitory effects against DENV, it may be possible to develop therapies that control disease caused by both viruses.

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.
