Resumo: Zika fever, considered as an emerging disease of arbo-viral origin, because of its expanding geographic area, is known as a benign infection usually presenting as an influenza-like illness with cutaneous rash. So far, Zika virus infection has never led to hospitalisation. We describe the first case of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) occurring immediately after a Zika virus infection, during the current Zika and type 1 and 3 dengue fever co-epidemics in French Polynesia.We report on a French Polynesian patient presenting a Zika virus (ZIKA) infection complicated by Guillain-Barre syndrome GBS).
