Guillain-Barre syndrome as a neurological complication of infective endocarditis. Is it really so rare and how often do we recognise it
International Journal of Cardiology, 03/17/09
Baravelli M et al. - GBS is considered a reactive, autoimmune disease preceded by a triggering event, such as a respiratory infection or gastroenteritis. Campylobacter jejuni, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Cytomegalovirus and Ebstein Barr Virus are the most frequent antecedent pathogens isolated in GBS; nevertheless recent reports suggest that pathogens related to infective endocarditis may be the triggers of this generalized polyneuropathy.
