BACKGROUND Incidence and predominant subtype of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) differs geographically. Electrophysiology has an important role in early diagnosis and prediction of prognosis. This study is conducted to determine the frequent subtype of GBS in a large group of patients in Iran and compare nerve conduction studies in axonal and demyelinating forms of GBS. METHODS We retrospective...

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is caused by an inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy, which most commonly results from acute demyelination produced by a CD4 T-cell mediated response against myelin proteins. Axonal forms have also been recognized. Molecular mimicry between components of the bacterial wall of Campylobacter jejuni and gangliocytes in the membranes of peripheral axons may be responsib...
