Abstract:
We reviewed 100 cases with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) from 1980 to 1999, and found that the features of GBS in electrophysiological classification, age, area, seasonal distributions, and in preceding illness in northwestern China are different in some aspects from those in Europe and North America or in northern China. The demyelinating pattern appeares as a major subtype not only in different age groups, but also in different test times after symptom onset.
