Early Electrodiagnostic Findings in Guillain-Barre Syndrome
Arch Neurol 58:913-917, Gordon,P.H. & Wilbourn,A.J., 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The H reflex is the most sensitive test for early GBS. Upper extremity SNAPs are also frequently abnormal in early GBS. Absent H response, abnormal F wave, and abnormal upper extremity SNAP combined with a normal sural SNAP are characteris tic of early GBS. If multiple nerves are tested, definite diagnosis is possible in half the patients, but not until the fifth day after the onset of symptoms.
