TL;DR: 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.

Dengue: an update
María G. Guzmán,Gustavo Kourí +1 more
TL;DR: The status of vaccine development is described and it is emphasised that the only alternative that the authors have today to control the disease is through control of its vector Aedes aegypti.

TL;DR: The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is of a scale not seen since the 1918 influenza pandemic and the proportion of infections leading to neurological disease will probably remain small.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dengue: an escalating problem
TL;DR: Dengue is the most common cause of arboviral disease, and its prevalence is expected to increase, and a cost effective vaccine is needed for the prevention and control of dengue.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin, emergence and evolutionary genetics of dengue virus
TL;DR: Comparison of gene sequence data reveals that dengue virus has a relatively recent evolutionary history, with the four serotypes originating approximately 1000 years ago and only establishing endemic transmission in humans in the last few hundred years.

Rapid detection and typing of dengue viruses from clinical samples by using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.
TL;DR: The accumulated data demonstrated that dengue viruses can be accurately detected and typed from viremic human serum samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dengue: the risk to developed and developing countries
TL;DR: At the root of the emergence of dengue as a major health problem are changes in human demography and behavior, leading to unchecked populations of and increased exposure to the principal domestic mosquito vector, Aedes aegypti.

TL;DR: It is proposed that measurement of dengue and Japanese encephalitis IgM and IgG antibodies upon admission and discharge from hospital care should replace the hemagglutination inhibition assay as the standard d Dengue serologic technique in regions where these 2 viruses co-circulate.

Clinical Features and Prognostic Indicators in Paediatric Cerebral Malaria: A Study of 131 Comatose Malawian Children
TL;DR: A prognostic index based on eight risk factors that can readily be ascertained at the bedside or in a ward sideroom, was more accurately predictive of outcome than any single feature.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses suggest that these genotypes of dengue type 2 virus originated in Southeast Asia and that they displaced the native, American genotype in at least four countries, and vaccination and other control efforts should therefore be directed at decreasing the transmission of these "virulent" genotypes.
