L'expansion this disease so far very uncommon in Polynesia is probably secondary to the epidemic of dengue and zika recent months. Many patients are left partially paralyzed or resuscitation. One person died of dengue in November. Extensive rehabilitation to regain their motor functions awaits those affected by Guillain-Barr? syndrome, a disease that affects the nervous system.
