![]() jejuni infection were more likely than others to have neurophysiologic criteria of axonal neuropathy or inexcitable nerves, antiganglioside GM 1 antibodies, pure motor GBS, lower CSF protein, and worse outcome. Results: Recent infection by Campylobacter jejuni was found in 53 patients (23%), cytomegalovirus in 19 (8%), and Epstein–Barr virus in four (2%). ![]() Methods: We tested pretreatment sera, 7 ± 3 (mean ± SD) days from onset, from 229 patients with GBS in a multicenter trial of plasma exchange and immunoglobulin, for serological markers of infection, adhesion molecules, and cytokine receptors, and compared these with neurophysiologic and clinical features. Objective: To test the hypothesis that different preceding infections influence the neurophysiologic classification and clinical features of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS).
