The chikungunya epidemics, which occurred in Martinique and Guadeloupe in 2014, affected 308,000 people in these two islands. GBS occurred during or immediately after acute chikungunya infection in 13 patients (10 men, three women; mean age: 61 years). Median time from acute chikungunya to GBS onset was 9 days. Twelve patients were treated with intravenous polyvalent immunoglobulins, nine of whom improved within 7 days. Five of 13 patients required mechanical ventilation. Two patients with severe GBS died. At 6 months of follow-up, 7\/13 achieved a good functional recovery with no or minor residual symptoms. A 2-fold increase in incidence was observed during the year of chikungunya outbreak. This study supports prior reports suggesting that GBS may be a complication of chikungunya.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.15-0753","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,4]],"date-time":"2017-07-04T07:00:39Z","timestamp":1499151639000},"page":"356-360","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["Guillain\u2013Barr\u00e9
