A patient with typical acute Guillain-Barre'syndrome died 72 hours after his first symptoms occurred,and an autopsy was performed 8 hours after his death.Extensive sampling of cranial and peripheral nerves,sensory ganglia, and autonomic nerves showed only minimal inflammatory lymphocytic and macrophage infiltrates.This case,one of the earliest studies extensively, represents an extreme example of a noninflammatory mechanism that has been proposed in some cases of Guillain-Barre'syndrome. |
