Guillain-BarrÉ Syndrome After Immunization in Canadian Children (1996-2012).

Risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome after seasonal influenza vaccination and influenza health-care encounters: a self-controlled study.

BACKGROUND The possible risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome from influenza vaccines remains a potential obstacle to achieving high vaccination coverage. However, influenza infection might also be associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome. We aimed to assess the risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome after seasonal influenza vaccination and after influenza-coded health-care encounters. METHODS We used the ...

Postvaccination acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and guillain-barré syndrome.

guillain-Barré syndrome (gBS) are monophasic inflammatory diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems, respectively. Both adem and gBS are immune-mediated neurological complications mostly associated with recent infection or vaccination.1,2 according to the theory of molecular mimicry, microbial antigens can induce aberrant cross-reactive immune responses and putative targets are spe...

Detection of Autoantibodies against Gangliosides in Guillain-Barré Syndrome

Guillain-Barré syndrome following hepatitis B vaccination.

A 52-year-old woman developed Guillain-Barré syndrome 10 weeks after immunization with recombinant hepatitis B vaccine. Common infectious causes of GBS were ruled out. The temporal relationship between GBS and hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination was suggestive of a vaccine-induced cause. The possible mechanisms of this very, rare complication are discussed.

Occurrence, clinical manifestations, and prognosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome.

In order to obtain more information on the incidence of Guillain-Barré syndrome and recent developments in its prognosis, we analysed the severity and prognosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome in children diagnosed and treated during the years 1980-6 throughout Finland. The criteria for Guillain-Barré syndrome were fulfilled in 14 boys and 13 girls. The mean annual number of cases of Guillain-Barré ...
