Guillain-Barré Syndrome and Visual Impairment Associated with Emerging Oropouche Virus Lineage, Brazil, 2024
We report a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome with visual impairment after confirmed Oropouche virus infection during the 2024 outbreak in Ceará, Brazil. Whole-genome sequencing revealed infection by a novel reassortant viral lineage (OROVBR_2025_2024), raising concern about the neurovirulence of this emerging orthobunyavirus strain.
