Long-term outcome in neuroZika

Abstract

NeuroZika spectrum represents a heterogeneous group of clinical neurologic manifestations. During an outbreak, clinicians should consider neuroZika in patients presenting with cranial nerve palsies and a mixed neurologic disorder. Long-term sequelae are frequent in NeuroZika. ZIKV reverse-transcription PCR status at admission can inform prognosis and should therefore be taken into consideration in the management of hospitalized patients<b>.</b>
