November 2018
Article Synopsis
- Zika virus infection is linked to Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), with about 60% of people in the U.S. living in areas prone to seasonal Zika spread.
- A case study highlighted a 64-year-old woman who developed GBS after traveling to the Dominican Republic, confirmed to have a Zika infection through lab testing.
- She received treatment and showed improvement, but further research is essential to understand the connection between Zika and GBS, as well as to determine effective prevention and treatment strategies.
