Strategic Aeromedical Evacuations of the French Armed Forces in French Guiana From 2018 to 2020.

Introduction: The French Armed Forces are deployed in French Guiana (FG) to protect national territory and ensure the security of strategically important sites. Military health support (MHS) provides medical support for missions in this tropical environment, which is hazardous and where confrontations are possible. MHS must organize tactical and strategic evacuations (Strat-AEs), so that an optimal level of care can be delivered.

Evolution of symptoms and quality of life during Zika virus infection: A 1-year prospective cohort study.

Background: Although the complications of Zika virus infection have been well described, the clinical pattern has not been reported in enough detail to differentiate this infection from those with other arboviroses, and no longitudinal study has yet been published on the persistence of symptoms and quality of life.

Objectives: were to describe bio-clinical pattern and quality of life during ZIKV infection, and their evolution.

Study Design: We present a 1-year clinical follow-up of 49 people infected with Zika virus in French Guiana, for whom the diagnosis was confirmed by RT-PCR in serum or urine.
