Complement-king antibodies to peripheral nerve myelin (anti-PNM Ab) can be detected in the serum of patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). Kinetics of these antibodies can be correlated with the changing clinical course; the appearance of activation products of the terminal complement cascade

The Landry-Guillain-Barré syndrome (LGBS) is a demyelinating disorder of the peripheral nervous system frequently preceded by infection with common viruses. Most prevalent among these agents are herpesviruses, particularly Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV). The specific role played
Mixed haemagglutination and complement fixation tests were used to detect serum antibodies to peripheral nerve in 36 patients with acute Guillain-Barré syndrome. Twenty patients were treated with plasma exchange, 16 served as controls. A significant antibody titre was found in 19 patients with the h
