Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 55-year-old man with a history of preceding influenza vaccination was admitted complaining of bilateral weakness of lower extremities, headache, and disequilibrium. Guillain-Barre′Syndrome (GBS) was diagnosed by the neurologic examination and electrophysiological studies. His symptoms progressed relentlessly to the condition requiring mechanical ventilation but he showed near full recovery within two months. Our case reminds us of the possible relationship of influenza vaccination and development of GBS.
