Sources of Error in the Diagnosis of Guillain-Barre Syndrome
Muscle & Nerve 5:111-117, Feit,H.,et al, 1982
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The pitfalls in the laboratory and clinical diagnosis of disorders that were confused with Guillain-Barre syndrome were several; the pattern of neurological dysfunction in the Guillain-Barre syndrome was not unique to that disorder; no specific laboratory test existed to confirm the diagnosis of Guillain-Barre syndrome; and the laboratory diagnosis of other causes of similar neurological disorders (especially heavy metal intoxication) depended upon tests that are very unreliable.
