Recurrent Guillain-Barré syndrome following influenza vaccine

Department of Neurology, The University of Kansas Medical Center College of Health Sciences and Hospital, Rainbow Boulevard at 39th, Kansas City, Kansas.

Two patients recovered from an attack of Guillain-Barré syndrome and then had a second attack of this disease, with a shorter latent period, following monovalent influenza vaccination. These cases suggest that an attack of Guillain-Barré syndrome may result in greater risk of future episodes of the syndrome in conjunction with exposure to influenza or other vaccinations.

Dr. Couch's address is Department of Neurology, University of Kansas Medical Center, Rainbow Boulevard at 39th Street, Kansas City, KS.

Accepted for publication February 24, 1978.
