Abstract

Zika virus an arthropod borne virus which causes dengue like symptoms is a global concern that has affected thousands of people with mild symptoms and causing more severe symptoms in neonates of infected mothers in recent years.  It has been associated with Guillain Barre Syndrome and microcephaly. Guillain Barre Syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that causes demyelination of peripheral nerves and motor fibers causing symmetric muscle weakness which begins from the lower extremities towards the upper part of the body. Microcephaly is a condition in which a baby is born with a small head with incomplete brain development causing mental retardation.

Articles were selected from different databases like PUBMED, BioMed Central, Google Scholar, and Scopus were reviewed by the participants drawing out points relevant to this topic and combining them to describe the Zika virus infection, modes of transmission and complications associated with it.
