Abstract
Zika virus (ZIKV) infection has been linked to the Guillain–Barré syndrome. From November 2015 through March 2016, clusters of cases of the Guillain–Barré syndrome were observed during the outbreak of ZIKV infection in Colombia. We characterized the clinical features of cases of Guillain–Barré syndrome in the context of this ZIKV infection outbreak and investigated their relationship with ZIKV infection.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
