Abstract
|
|
|
175 cerebral spinal fluids from eighty three patients of Guillain-Barre syndrome were analyzed in reference to the time interval from onset of illness.
Cell counts were within normal range in one hundred and fifty four cases (88%) and fourteen cases (8%) showed borderline pleocytosis ranged from 6 to 10 and only seven cases (4%) showed mild pleocytosis ranged from 11 to 50. And most of pleocytosis appeared within three weeks interval from onset.
Regarding CSF protein values, foruy nine cases (28%) showed below 50mg%, one hundred and twelve cases (64%) yielded between 51mg% and 200mg%, and fourteen cases (8%) revealed above 200mg%. CSF protein values seemed to reach maximum between four and six weeks from the onset in majority of the patients, but within one to two weeks in some patients.
And those patients whose protein values reached to the maximum level within one to two weeks seemed to recover more rapidly than the others.
No more than ten percent of the Guillain-Barre syndrome seemed to show normal protein values during the total course of the illness.
