Abstract: | A 14-year-old boy presented with progressive ascending muscle weakness, urinary retention and disturbed consciousness. Initially his cerebrospinal fluid showed pleocytosis, and protein-cellular dissociation developed later. Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from his stool and serum anti-ganglioside antibodies were positive. Our case suggests that coexistence of meningoencephalitis at an early stage of illness does not necessarily exclude the diagnosis of Guillain-Barre syndrome. |
