Journal of Clinical Virology Neurological manifestations of pediatric arboviral infections in the Americas May 8, 2019 Dengue has three possible neuropathogenic mechanisms: invasion of the nervous system, metabolic or vascular disorders or immune-mediated. Neurological manifestations of acquired Zika includes hemiparesis, myelitis, Guillain-Barré, cortical infarction and behavioral changes. Neurological manifestations in children with Chikungunya were seizures, encephalitis, meningism and behavioral changes. Among the children with neurological manifestations due to CHIKV, 5.6% died and 8.5% developed neuronal sequelae. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1386653219300940?via%3Dihub

Dirlikov, E. et al. JAMA Neurology May 21, 2018 GBS Symptoms more severe when caused by Zika. GBS is a post-infectious autoimmune disorder, characterized by weakness and poor reflexes. Countries with large Zika outbreaks have reported a spike in GBS cases in the months following a wave of Zika activity.
