Abstract

This article is a case report published in the Journal of Neurology. It describes the medical history and clinical findings of a 66-year-old male patient who was suspected of having Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). The patient had rapidly progressive tetraparesis, leg pareses, and urinary and fecal incontinence. The patient had a previous diagnosis of angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL) and had received chemotherapy. The article discusses the diagnostic procedures, therapy, and further course of the patient's condition. The authors highlight the complexity of diagnosing polyneuropathy in lymphoma patients and the importance of considering AITL in autoimmune phenomena. [Extracted from the article]
