Serologic Evidence of Previous <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> Infection in Patients with the Guillain-Barre Syndrome

Abstract

Patients with the Guillain-Barré syndrome are more likely than controls to have serologic evidence of C. jejuni infection in the weeks before onset of neurologic symptoms. Campylobacter jejuni may play a role in the initiation of the Guillain-Barré syndrome in many patients.
