Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) is a type of GBS accompanied by peripheral axonal involvement where acute motor paralysis, loss of reflex or hyporeflexia, insignificant sensory loss, and albumino-cytologic disproportion in cerebrospinal f luid are seen with no demyelinating findings in electromyography (EMG).[1] Commonly known as acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), GBS’...

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is caused by an inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy, which most commonly results from acute demyelination produced by a CD4 T-cell mediated response against myelin proteins. Axonal forms have also been recognized. Molecular mimicry between components of the bacterial wall of Campylobacter jejuni and gangliocytes in the membranes of peripheral axons may be responsib...

Sera from 40 patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), including the subtypes acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN), and Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) were examined for the presence of anti-ganglioside antibodies using the ganglioside agglutination assay, and the enzyme-linked immunosorbe...

BACKGROUND Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an acute monophasic demyelinating neuropathy characterized by progressive motor weakness of limbs with areflexia. AIM To study the clinical pattern and outcome of children with Guillain-Barre syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS It was a cross-sectional study conducted in a pediatric unit of tertiary care hospital over a period of 18 months. We assesse...
