Los pasados día 20 y 21 de Junio la Comisión Europea, a través de la DSG de Salud y Seguridad Alimentaria , ha auspiciado reuniones en los ámbito de transporte, turismo y profesionales de la salud. Aquí, Flash report from the meetings with the transport, tourism and health Professionals sectors on the Zika virus disease on 20-21 June 2016
el resumen.
Entre lo comunicado, la próxima publicación de casos de infecciones de ZIKV en la UE a través de un único mecanismo:
"ECDC informed that MS report on the cases of Zika virus through the European Surveillance System (TESSy) since end of May. The reported information will feed into weekly reports"
En la reunió se ha hecho la siguiente aportación de la Academia Europea de Neurología:
The European Academy of Neurology (EAN) shared their experience from a recent conference where the possible impact of Zika virus on the adult population in Europe was
discussed. A worst case scenario for Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) was developed where
the current number of GBS cases, 1 per 100 000 individuals per year would increase to 5-10
per 100 000 per year, if the whole adult population in Europe were infected. Such situation
would entrain an increase in capacity for neuro-emergency care, neuro-critical care and neurorehabilitation (minimum one third of GBS cases need neurocritical care management, i.e.
artificial ventilation, stabilization and monitoring of autonomic dysfunction, and also a third
of GBS patients still need neuro-rehabilitation six months after the onset of Guillain-Barré
Syndrome). Early diagnosis and proper use of the treatment is essential. EAN cautioned
against indiscriminate use of specific GBS treatment as iv Immunoglobulins and/or
plasmapheresis which could deplete unnecessarily much needed capacity. Much information
on Zika related health issues is available through their website.
Esta última frase nos sorprende porque no hemos encontrado mucha información en la web de la European Academy of Neurology (EAN)
