Outside Brazil, other countries in Latin America where Zika is spreading are reporting an increase in cases of Guillain-Barr?, including Colombia and Venezuela. This month, El Salvador said it was seeing a surge in Guillain-Barr? cases. It normally averages about 14 a month, but between Dec. 1, 2015, and Jan. 6, 2016, it recorded 46; two of them died.
Of the 22 patients for whom medical histories were available, about half remembered having had the fever and rash that are the most common symptoms of Zika, between a week and two weeks before their paralysis began.
Guillain-Barr? has sporadically been diagnosed as a consequence of a number of viral infections, including other mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever, chikungunya and West Nile virus.
