Major, MPH; Marrielle Mayshack; et al. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2016;65(Early Release) Countries affected by Zika virus have reported increased cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), an uncommon autoimmune disorder. In February 2016, the Puerto Rico Department of Health implemented the GBS Passive Surveillance System. Fifty-six suspected GBS cases with onset of neurologic signs were identified during January 1–July 31, 2016. PDF Likely Sexual Transmission of Zika Virus from a Man with No Symptoms of Infection — Maryland, 2016 Richard B. Brooks, MD; Maria Paz Carlos, PhD; Robert A. Myers, PhD; et al. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2016;65(Early Release) A man in Maryland, who had recently traveled to the Dominican Republic, likely transmitted Zika virus to a female sex partner via intercourse without a condom. The man reported no symptoms consistent with Zika virus infection nor any other symptoms of illness, although serologic testing on specimens collected 29 days after his return was positive to Zika immunoglobulin M antibodies. Based on the report's findings, it might be appropriate to consider persons who have condomless sex with partners returning from areas with ongoing Zika virus transmission as exposed to Zika virus, regardless of whether the returning traveler reports symptoms of Zika virus infection.
