Autor(es): Lecocq P, Majid S, Girard Buttaz I


Resumo: Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare complication of cytomegalovirus infection in the healthy adult. We report a new case with good spontaneous outcome. Cytomegalovirus has been recognized in about 15% of Guillain-Barré syndromes. Clinical and biological presentation, and outcome are common and prognosis is often good. Etiopathogenic mechanism is unclear.
