Instituto Gonçalo Moniz. Salvador, BA, BrasilFundação Oswaldo Cruz. Instituto Gonçalo Moniz. Salvador, BA, BrasilBackground: An unprecedented and concurrent outbreak of
Dengue (DENV), Chikungunya (CHIKV) and Zika (ZIKV) virus happened
in Brazil in 2015. Approximately 18.372 cases of an acute
exanthematous illness were notified in Salvador, Bahia and several
cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) raised.
Methods & Materials: We started a hospital surveillance for
GBS and other neurological syndromes in two general hospitals in
Salvador, northeastern Brazil.
Results: Twenty-seven cases were included, of which 18 (66%)
were female. The mean age was 40 years and 26 (93%) of them had
acute symptoms suggestive of arbovirus infection before the onset
of neurological symptoms
