Abstract
In a matched case-control study where 24 cases developed Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) during the 2014 chikungunya outbreak in the French West Indies and 72 controls were blood donors during the same period, chikungunya infection was a risk factor for GBS (odds ratio, 8.3; 95% confidence interval, 2.3-29.7; P = .001).
