Researchers from Division of Critical Care Medicine Report Details of New Studies and Findings in the Area of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (Recurrent Guillain-barre Syndrome Associated With the Second Episode Of Campylobacter Jejuni...).

A recent study conducted in Nara, Japan, focused on Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), an autoimmune disease. The researchers examined a case of recurrent GBS in a 21-year-old man who had previously been infected with Campylobacter jejuni, a bacteria associated with GBS. The study found that the patient developed different anti-ganglioside antibodies and experienced more severe symptoms in the second episode of GBS compared to the first. This suggests that different antibodies may be involved in recurrent episodes of GBS triggered by C. jejuni infection. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in the journal Internal Medicine. [Extracted from the article]
