Guillain-Barré Syndrome: Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

Infection

Up to 65 percent of people with Guillain–Barré syndrome experience an infection before they notice symptoms of the condition. Some common infectious issues that are associated with this disorder include hepatitis, dengue fever, respiratory tract, or gastroenteritis. Among these, many cases are triggered by cytomegalovirus and campylobacter jejuni, the bacteria that cause diarrhea. However, keep in mind that not all patients with infections are suffering from this syndrome. It is better to have it checked by your doctor to ensure precise diagnosis and early treatment. [8]
