Concurrent Guillain-Barr é syndrome, transverse myelitis and encephalitis post-Zika: A case report and review of the pathogenic role of multiple arboviral immunity
We thank Yasri and Wiwanitkit for their comments on our review article of Zika virus (ZIKV) neurotropism [1,2]. They indicate that in their geographic region in South East Asia (Thailand) —a ZIKV endemic area— the concurrent immunoreactivity to ZIKV and other arboviruses is very common, particularly with dengue virus (DENV) and Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) [3], but there are no reports of neurological complications resulting from co-reactivity between ZIKV and other arboviruses.
