This study was performed to determine whether increased ganglioside-specific T cell reactivity can be detected in the peripheral blood of patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). T cell responsiveness to the gangliosides GM1, GM3, GD1a, GD1b, GD3, GT1b, GQ1b and sulphatide was assessed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells...

Objective Several cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection have been described. This study illustrated the demographic, clinical, and neurophysiological characteristics patients GBS COVID-19, as well factors disability at discharge. Materials methods A retrospective analytical observational was conducted. It included diagnosed admitted in a national reference ...

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune and post-infectious immune disease. The syndrome includes several pathological subtypes, the most common of which is a multifocal demyelinating disorder of the peripheral nerves. In the present review, the main clinical aspects and the basic features of GBS are discussed along with approaches to diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, the pathophysio...

INTRODUCTION Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired autoimmune disorder with progressive weakness. Acute-onset CIDP resembles Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), a rapidly progressive disorder, and follows a chronic course. To our knowledge, no case of acute-onset CIDP in hantavirus and hepatitis B virus (HBV) coinfection has been reported previously. CLINICAL FIND...

Landry paralysis and the Guillain-Barre syndrome are not distinct entities and the differentiation, between these two diseases, is artificial (Lewy, 1945). Haymaker and Kernohan (I949) in their review on these diseases, supporting Lewy's view, proposed a new terminology of Landy-Guillain-Barre syndrome. Landry in I859 made the earliest description of the Guillain-Barre syndrome. Osler in I892 d...

Background. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) are autoimmune demyelinating disorders of Central and Peripheral Nervous system, respectively. The coexistence of these two syndromes in an individual's life span is rare. Objectives. To inspect throughout Isfahan MS society (IMSS) records for MS cases who had history of documented GBS whether before the onset of MS or after ...

OBJECTIVE To identify the factors that could predict the functional outcome in patients with the axonal type of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). METHODS Two hundred and two GBS patients admitted to our university hospital between 2003 and 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. We defined a good outcome as being "able to walk independently at 1 month after onset" and a poor outcome as being "unable...

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and syringomyelia are diseases of different entities. GBS is an acute post-infectious autoimmune disease which is mediated by autoantibodies against the myelin of peripheral nerves. Syringomyelia is a chronic disease characterized by a cavity extending longitudinally inside the spinal cord. A 67-year-old man is being hospitalized due to severe numbness and ascendin...
