Postmortem Findings in Patient with Guillain-Barré Syndrome and Zika Virus Infection - Volume 24, Number 1—January 2018 - Emerging Infectious Diseases journal - CDC

Abstract

Postmortem examination results of a patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome and confirmed Zika virus infection revealed demyelination of the sciatic and cranial IV nerves, providing evidence of the acute demyelinating inflammatory polyneuropathy Guillain-Barré syndrome variant. Lack of evidence of Zika virus in nervous tissue suggests that pathophysiology was antibody mediated without neurotropism.
