A member asked:
Can guillain barre syndrome come on right after infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, especially GI: Guillain barre syndrome is often preceded by an immune stressor such as an infection. Most classically, it is caused by campylobacter, but associations have been seen with cmv, flu, and many other infections. Often, a clear trigger cannot be identified.
