His complete blood counts showed elevated eosinophil count. Nerve conduction neuropathy.

We report a patient with an acute neuropathy initially mimicking Guillain-Barré syndrome, both clinically and electrophysiologically. Persistent eosinophilia, positive antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody and eosinophilic vasculitis in sural nerve biopsy later confirmed Churg-Strauss syndrome. Since vasculitic neuropathy can present in an acute and fulminant form, the role of early antibody test...

Abstract Porphyria is a rare disorder that results from mutations in the genes important haem biosynthesis. Several types are described. Acute attacks lead to central, autonomic and peripheral nervous system manifestations. These acute typically occur intermittent porphyria, less so variegate porphyria. The neuropathy this condition can mimic Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), often misdiagnosed in...

The authors describe two patients with acute sensory ataxic neuropathy. Both had a profound loss of proprioception and generalized areflexia. High titers of monospecific anti-GD1b IgG antibody were detected in their sera during the acute phase. Sensory ataxia resolved within 2 weeks after the onset. Taken together with the induction of experimental sensory ataxic neuropathy sensitized with GD1b...

OBJECTIVE To comprehensively investigate the relationship between antibodies to single glycolipids and their complexes and Guillain-Barré syndrome subtypes and clinical features. METHODS In acute sera from 199 patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome, immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to glycolipids and ganglioside complexes were tested using ELISA against individual antigens from single glycoli...
