Link zika and nerve disease

bogota - The zikavirus, which seems to be very dangerous for unborn babies, potentially brings even more mischief. In Latin America, examines whether there is a link between the zikavirus and debilitating nerve and muscle disorder called Guillain-Barré syndrome. The Colombian newspaper El Tiempo reported that Guillain-Barré occurs as a possible complication of the zikavirus transmitted by mosquitoes.

According to researchers, it is otherwise very very coincidental that in the countries where it zikavirus now has broken, like the Central American El Salvador, suddenly a wave of cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome has been detected. The World Health Organization (WHO) counted from December 1 to January 6, 46 cases of the syndrome in the country. That's an extraordinary amount for a nation where an average of 170 cases occur each year.
