Landry-Guillain-Barre-Strohl Syndrome in Typhoid Fever

Abstract

A case is described of a 15-year-old girl who developed Landry-Guillain-Barré-Strohl Syndrome (LGBSS) on the ninth day of typhoid fever. In the absence of other known cause or association of LGBSS Salmonella typhi is believed to be aetiologically related. The patient recovered uneventfully from her neurological illness in about ten weeks from onset of symptoms.
