Acute zika infection may damage sensory nerves
Acute zika infection may damage sensory nerves
Zika virus infection has been associated with several neurological complications and researchers have now reported that it may also lead to sensory polyneuropathy - damage to nerves that receive sensation, such as temperature, pain, vibration or touch, from the skin.In a paper published in the Journal of the Neurological Sciences, group of researchers from Honduras, Venezuela and the US described the first case of sensory polyneuropathy associated with acute Zika virus infection."Clinicians should be aware that Zika virus infection can also cause an acute infectious sensory polyneuropathy," said first author Marco Medina from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Honduras."Our patient is the first confirmed Zika infection case report associated with an acute sensory polyneuropathy which began during the acute infectious phase," Medina said.This suggests a probable direct viral inflammatory process affecting sensory nerves, but an autoimmune etiology cannot be definitely excluded, Medina added.The new publication is part of the collaborate efforts of the World Federation of Neurology Work Group on Zika.Concerned about the increasing number of neurological complications related to the Zika virus, the WFN recently established this forum to contribute expertise to the coordinated global response to the Zika crisis.A large percentage of people suffering from Zika virus infections are asymptomatic or show only mild symptoms.

Breast milk sugars may ward off deadly infection in babies
Sugars in breast milk allow the "friendly" bacteria present in the child's gut to flourish and out-compete any harmful bacteria.(Source: UNICEF Ukraine/Flickr) Sugars in breast milk allow the "friendly" bacteria present in the child's gut to flourish and out-compete any harmful bacteria.(Source: UNICEF Ukraine/Flickr)A type of sugar found naturally in some women's breast milk may protect newborn babies from infection with a potentially life threatening bacterium, says a study.

Breast milk sugar may give babies defence against lethal infection
Breast milk sugar may give babies defence against lethal infection
A naturally-occurring sugar found in breast milk may provide protection against life threatening bacterium by acting as a food source for 'friendly bacteria' in a baby's intestine, a study by Imperial College has concluded.Writing in Clinical & Translational Immunology, researchers identified a specific sugar -- lacto-n-difucohexaose I — in breast milk that proved better at killing the bacterium Streptococcus agalacticae than breast milk without this sugar.The species is responsible for the Group B streptococcus (GBS) infection, a serious illness in newborns that can cause infection and in some cases, death.
