Guillain-Barré syndrome after rubella
Abstract
A case of polyneuropathy (Guillain--Barré syndrome) developing only 6 days after rubella infection in a 26-year-old woman is described. Serological confirmation of the viral infection by detecting the specific IgM antibody has not been previously reported in any of the rubella cases associated with the syndrome.
