The currently ongoing Zika virus outbreak in The Americas, Caribbean, and the Pacific have been declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be “spreading explosively” and its complications to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Although this virus is not spread by direct contact, it is an arthropod-borne flavivirus that can also be spread sexually and through blood. In this case report, we explore the various clinical manifestations, complications, and management of Zika virus with special interest to Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). This case report has explained the hospital course of a 77-year-old female to facilitate this discussion.
