Author response: Acute Zika infection with concurrent onset of Guillain-BarrE syndrome

We thank Gérardin et al. for the comments on our Clinical/Scientific Note on Zika virus (ZIKV).1 Our patient was of particular interest because he had an illness clinically and electrophysiologically indistinguishable from Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) that developed within a few days of acute ZIKV infection, in the context of contemporaneous Zika viremia.1 Concurrently obtained CSF was negative for ZIKV. Brain and spine MRI were also normal. Importantly, there was no serologic evidence of priming by previous dengue or other flaviviruses.
