Overlapping Guillain-Barré syndrome and Bickerstaff's brainstem encephalitis associated with Epstein Barr virus
A flaccid tetraparesis in Bickerstaff's brainstem encephalitis (BBE) is presumed to be a sign of overlapping Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). In addition, BBE and Fisher syndrome, which are clinically similar and are both associated with the presence of the immunoglobulin G anti-GQ1b antibody, represent a specific autoimmune disease with a wide spectrum of symptoms that include ophthalmoplegia an...
متن کاملBickerstaff's brainstem encephalitis: clinical features of 62 cases and a subgroup associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Bickerstaff reported eight patients who, in addition to acute ophthalmoplegia and ataxia, showed drowsiness, extensor plantar responses or hemisensory loss. This condition has been named Bickerstaff's brainstem encephalitis (BBE). One patient had gross flaccid weakness in the four limbs. Presumably because of the rarity of this disorder, there has been no reported study on a large number of pat...

متن کاملEarly-onset Guillain-Barré syndrome associated with reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus infection after nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation.
We report a case of early-onset acute Guillain-Barre syndrome associated with reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection after nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation (NST). Reactivation of EBV infection preceded disease onset, and the virus load increased concomitantly with disease progression (doubling time, 2.7 days). This case raises concern about the expanding scope of manifesta...
متن کاملGuillain-Barré syndrome and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in a patient with severe chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection syndrome.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection causes a wide range of neurologic and hematologic manifestations. We report a 72-year-old Japanese male patient with severe chronic active EBV infection syndrome (SCAEBV) who presented with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and developed hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) several months after the onset of GBS. He showed acute onset of distal muscle weakness,...
