Campylobacter jejuni isolation is the standard for the diagnosis of this type of bacterial infection, but there have been no epidemiological studies of a large number of C. jejuni isolates from patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and Fisher syndrome (FS). For 13 years, stool specimens from GBS/FS patients have been sent from 378 hospitals throughout Japan to the Tokyo Metropolitan Insti...

A case report is presented of a 33-year-old woman who awoke with distal paresthesias, mild incoordination, and progressive weakness. Examination 3 days later demonstrated weakness of the extremities, which was greater in distal muscles than in proximal ones! mild facial weakness, distal vibratory loss, and areflexia. Electrodiagnostic studies provided evidence of an acquired demyelinating polyr...

Guillain Barre syndrome (GBS) is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder that has been reported to carry high maternal risk and mortality of >10% if occurred during pregnancy. It characterized by acute onset symmetrical ascending paralysis with or without respiratory depression autonomic dysfunction secondary gastrointestinal infection. This case report 30 years old multigravida who presente...

Unlike other autoimmune polyneuropathies, the linkage between chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and other immune mediated disorders is weak. We report a patient who developed monophasic and parallel courses of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and chronic demyelinating polyneuropathy. Both resolved in tandem with corticosteroid therapy. Distinct from Guillain-Barre Syndr...

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a rare immune mediated clinical disorder of the peripheral nerves. A number vaccines including COVID-19 vaccine have been shown to be associated with an increased risk GBS. We reported case Corbevax® (COVID-19 vaccine) induced 12 years old girl presented paediatric emergency 2 days history progressive weakness all four limbs. The started after one day patient re...

OBJECTIVE To measure the frequency, persistence, isoform specificity, and clinical correlates of neurofascin antibodies in patients with peripheral neuropathies. METHODS We studied cohorts of patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) (n = 59), genetic neuropathy (n = 111), and idiopathic neuropathy (n = 43) for immunoglobulin (Ig) ...

OBJECTIVE To analyze how the patient himself perceives his physical and social situation 1 year after Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). MATERIAL AND METHOD The Dutch patients who participated in an international multicenter trial were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire containing questions on their physical status at homecoming and at 12 months, as well as questions dealing with...

A case of the Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) occurring after microvascular decompression for the treatment of cranial nerve diseases is presented. Although the Guillain-Barré syndrome has been reported after surgical procedures, our case is the first case that can be documented after microvascular decompression surgery in the literature. The exact pathophysiological reasons of the syndrome are s...

We really appreciate Craig et al. (2016) for their commended to our contribution to the current knowledge about Zika Virus (ZIKV), and their comments to the possible relationship between Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and ZIKV infection (Saiz et al., 2016). Even more, we absolutely agree with their interpretations and recommendations pointing to the necessity of further research to accurately qu...
