## Abstract To investigate the pathophysiological role of anti‐GM1 antibody in Gullain‐Barre syndrome (GBS), we reviewed sequential nerve conduction studies of 345 nerves in 34 GBS patients. Statistically significant correlation between IgG anti‐GM1 antibodies and electrodiagnoses was found. Sixtee
If anti-GM1 antibody plays a role in the axonal damage in Guillain-Barre ´syndrome, the common entrapment sites may be preferentially involved with evidence of axonal dysfunction. To assess this hypothesis, we studied nerve conduction across the cubital tunnel in 44 patients. Abnormal amplitude redu
