THE ASSOCIATION OF THE GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME WITH INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS

Abstract

Abstract Infectious mononucleosis in which death was due to associated ascending paralysis, indistinguishable from that in Guillain-Barré syndrome, was encountered in 2. cases at the Army Institute of Pathology. Study of the data from these cases strongly suggests that infectious mononucleosis is one of the many diseases or agents which may precipitate or give rise to the Guillain-Barré syndrome.
