Abstract |
Concerning the letter by Joob and Wiwanitkit(1) about our article "Flavivirus cross-reactivity, Guillain-Barré syndrome [GBS] and hematopoietic stem cell transplant patient,"(2) we would like to emphasize that we hypothesized that GBS in the studied case could be a result of a previous flavivirus infection or caused by infection with both viruses. We have based our hypothesis on the clinical records obtained during the Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemics in Latin America. Similarly to what occurs in Southeast Asia, Brazil has annually undergone several outbreaks of dengue since its re-introduction in the Americas in 1986. During the 2015/2016 ZIKV outbreak that occurred in Brazil, unusually high rates of GBS and congenital syndromes were observed. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. |
