Postmortem Findings in Patient with Guillain-Barre Syndrome and Zika Virus Infection

Postmortem examination results of a patient with Guillain-Barre syndrome and confirmed Zika virus infection revealed demyelination of the sciatic and cranial IV nerves, providing evidence of the acute demyelinating inflammatory polyneuropathy Guillain-Barre syndrome variant. Lack of evidence of Zika virus in nervous tissue suggests that pathophysiology was antibody mediated without neurotropism.
