## Abstract In Guillain‐Barré syndrome antibodies to GM~1~ and the presence of an antecedent __Campylobacter jeJunei__ infection are correlated with a more severe course of the disease. From a group of 137 consecutive GBS patients, 11 sera had elevated titers of anti‐GM~1~ IgG antibodies during the
