Abstract

We report two cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome who had concomitant Zika virus viruria. This viruria persisted for longer than 15 days after symptom onset. The cases occurred on Martinique in January 2016, at the beginning of the Zika virus outbreak. Awareness of this possible neurological complication of ZikV infection is needed.

Keywords: Martinique; emerging or re-emerging diseases; outbreaks; vector-borne infections; viral infections.
