Abstract
Miller Fisher is a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome, presented mainly with ataxia, areflexia and ophthalmoplegia. After the 2016 Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak, an association between Guillain-Barré syndrome and ZIKV was established. ZIKV is a mosquito-borne-flavivirus, considered a mild disease with symptoms including fever, rash, conjunctivitis, and arthralgia. Most of cases with ZIKV infection are asymptomatic, however in neurologic complications including Guillain-Barré syndrome, symptoms could evolve leading to fatalities. A case of Miller Fisher-Guillain-Barré overlap syndrome during the 2016 ZIKV outbreak is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
