Guillain–Barré syndrome during childhood: Particular clinical and electrophysiological features
TLDR
Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) has some specific characteristics in children that are specific to children with GBS. Expand
Guillain–Barré syndrome: Clinical variants and their pathogenesis
  • J. Winer
  • Biology, Medicine
  • Journal of Neuroimmunology
  • 2011
TLDR
Numerous clinical subtypes of Guillain-Barré syndrome have been described over the century since the original description of the syndrome and their immunological pathogenesis is reviewed. Expand
Evolving pattern of Guillain–Barre syndrome in a community hospital in Israel
TLDR
The frequency of axonal Guillain–Barre syndrome in the authors' ward over 6 years (1999–2005) is investigated to find out if there is a common underlying cause. Expand
A rating scale for the severity of Guillain‐Barré syndrome
The objective of this study was to develop a rating scale to assess the severity of Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS).
Multiple cranial neuropathy variant of guillain–barré syndrome: A case series
Prompt identification of the rare cranial variant of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is crucial, but the clinical characteristics remain poorly defined.
Increased incidence of Guillain–Barré syndrome after surgery
Antecedent surgery has been described to trigger Guillain/x96Barré syndrome (GBS), but its evidence is poor and based on case reports only.
Use of immunoglobulin in severe childhood Guillain‐Barré syndrome
TLDR
Patients treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) were compared with patients admitted before the immunoglOBulin treatment was introduced to compare the clinical results in children with Guillain–Barré syndrome admitted to the intensive care unit. Expand
Electrophysiological subtypes and prognosis of Guillain–Barré syndrome in Northeastern China
The purpose of this study was to assess the electrophysiological subtypes and prognosis of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) in northeastern China.
Guillain-Barré syndrome.
#### Key Points Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a clinical diagnosis, with progressive weakness and areflexia evolving over less than four weeks Antiganglioside antibodies are present in 25% of… Expand

Guillain‐Barré syndrome: Historical aspects
TLDR
The topography, pathological features, pathophysiology, and prognostic features of the Guillain‐Barré syndrome are well understood, but the immunopathogenesis of the disease remains uncertain. Expand
Diagnostic considerations in Guillain‐Barré syndrome
TLDR
Guillain‐Barré syndrome is a recognizable entity for which the basis for diagnosis is descriptive in the present state of knowledge, and the precise diagnostic limits remain uncertain. Expand
Electrophysiology in Guillain-Barré syndrome.
TLDR
Future studies of the electrophysiology of Guillain-Barré syndrome should allow increased use of the data for prognostication and should enhance the understanding of the mechanisms of the disease. Expand
An acute axonal form of Guillain-Barré polyneuropathy.
TLDR
Five patients with a clinical diagnosis of acute Guillain-Barré polyneuropathy had electrically inexcitable motor nerves and all were quadriplegic, and electrophysiological studies in these patients suggested that the predominant process was axonal degeneration. Expand
Electrophysiologic evidence of severe distal nerve segment pathology in the guillain–barré syndrome
TLDR
It is concluded that pathophysiologic abnormalities may be distal and severe in some patients with Guillain–Barré syndrome and that there is a predilection for motor axons in GBS. Expand
Reversible proximal conduction block underlies rapid recovery in Guillain‐Barré syndrome
TLDR
Findings indicate that rapid motor recovery, early in the course of Guillain‐Barré syndrome, can result from reversal of proximal conduction block and explains the often noted dissociation between clinical improvement and conventional distal nerve conduction studies. Expand
Motor conduction studies in guillain‐barré syndrome: Description and prognostic value
TLDR
The results indicate that prognostic information can be obtained from motor conduction studies even when performed early in the course of GBS; a mean distal CMAP amplitude of 0 to 20% of the lower limit of normal is associated with a markedly increased probability of a poor outcome. Expand
Patterns of conduction failure in the Guillain-Barré syndrome.
TLDR
The second pattern might be explained by an immunological mechanism with a predilection for those regions of the peripheral nervous system where the blood-nerve barrier is naturally deficient and raises new questions, the solution of which might be of importance for the understanding of the Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Conduction block and denervation in Guillain-Barré polyneuropathy.
The two main electrophysiological abnormalities seen in the first two weeks of the acute Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) were conduction block and, in some patients, low maximum M response amplitudes.… Expand
Inflammatory demyelinating peripheral neuropathies associated with human T‐cell lymphotropic virus type III infection
TLDR
Nine patients with inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathies (IDP) were found to have human T‐cell lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV‐III) infection, and it was found that treatment with either prednisone or plasmapheresis was followed by clinical improvement. Expand
