Article Synopsis
- - A case study from Rio de Janeiro reports Zika virus (ZIKV) detection in the brain of a multiple sclerosis (MS) patient who experienced a severe ADEM-like event.
- - Testing showed the presence of ZIKV antibodies in the patient's serum and urine, along with ZIKV proteins and immune cell infiltration in a brain biopsy.
- - The findings suggest that a new immune response triggered by ZIKV might be linked to the ADEM-like syndrome, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis in MS patients in areas where ZIKV is common.
