Diagnostic Challenges and Clinical Characteristics of Hepatitis E Virus-Associated Guillain-Barre Syndrome
JAMA Neurol 74:26-33, Stevens, O.,et al, 2017
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Acute HEV infection was frequently associated with GBS in our cohort. Abnormal alanine aminotransferase levels at admission can indicate the presence of an associated HEV infection. When HEV testing is considered, it is important to test for other infectious agents in parallel, as cross-reactivity can occur. Further studies are required to guide neurologists in their workup of underlying triggers of GBS.
