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: The in situ immune response profile and mechanisms of neuronal cell damage in fatal Zika microcephaly cases were investigated and changes found were mainly calcification, necrosis, neuronophagy, gliosis, microglial nodules, and inflammatory infiltration of mononuclear cells.

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.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the ZIKVBR infects fetuses, causing intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR), and crosses the placenta and causes microcephaly by targeting cortical progenitor cells, inducing cell death by apoptosis and autophagy, impairing neurodevelopment.

Guillain-Barré syndrome.
TL;DR: The data for GBS suggests that the immunologic mechanism can involve molecular mimicry, at least in some GBS variants, and it is likely that multiple mechanisms render the axon vulnerable.

TL;DR: Results of phylogenetic and molecular clock analyses show a single introduction of ZikV into the Americas, which is estimated to have occurred between May and December 2013, more than 12 months before the detection of ZIKV in Brazil.

Guillain–Barre syndrome: First description of a snake envenomation aetiology
TL;DR: This study proved the auto-immunological aetiology of GBS in a patient based on molecular mimicry mechanisms between venom proteins and GM2 ganglioside and proved the absence of neurotoxicity of the viper venom.

Linear scleroderma 'en coup de sabre' associated with facial atrophy in a patient seropositive for Borrelia burgdorferi: a true case of molecular mimicry?
TL;DR: A peculiar presentation of linear scleroderma en coup de sabre associated with facial atrophy in a patient seropositive for B. burgdorferi is described, raising the possibility that this spirochete might trigger the clinical appearance of this disease.

The demyelination neurophysiological criteria can be misleading in Campylobacter jejuni-related Guillain-Barré syndrome.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that AMAN can demonstrate the full complement of demyelinating features at the early stages of disease, and Serial neurophysiology suggests that C. jejuni infections are exclusive to axonal GBS.
