Guillain–Barré Syndrome

Yuki, Nobuhiro, Hartung, Hans-Peter·2012·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Sera from patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) following Campylobacter jejuni infection have autoantibody to GM1 ganglioside in the acute phase of the illness. There is a strong association between GBS and Penner's serotype 19 (PEN 19) of C. jejuni. The terminal structure of the bacterial lipopolysaccharide is identical to the terminal tetrasaccharide of GM1 ganglioside. Anti-GM1 antibody inhibits motoneuron excitability. Molecular mimicry between infectious agents and nerve tissue components may function in the development of GBS.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
