Inflammatory and immune-mediated polyneuropathies represent an important differential diagnosis of hereditary and acquired polyneuropathies. In this article, we will provide you with all the relevant facts concerning the GuillainBarré syndrome, the Miller-Fisher syndrome, and the Elsberg syndrome. Also, we will cover the chronic-inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and multifocal mo...

Guillain-Barré (GBS) syndrome is an immune-mediated polyneuropathy that frequently presents with progressive muscle weakness. Hyponatremia is rarely the presenting feature of this demyelinating process, as it is normally described following the diagnosis. We report a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome diagnosed after presenting symptoms of severe hyponatremia. Awareness should be raised for consid...

S ome vaccines cause specific side effects, like the rare cases of poliomyelitis after oral poliovirus vaccination. But when people talk about rare side effects related to vaccination in general, two conditions are most often mentioned: anaphylaxis and GuillainBarré syndrome (pronounced “gheeYAN bah-RAY”). A previous column in this series reviewed the spectrum of severe allergic reactions known...
