Guillain-Barre
[DM 2006] Zithromax causes Guillain-Barre Syndrome
Guillain-Barre and vaccination
"The disturbance was clinically described by
Auguste François Chomel (1788-1858) in 1828, James Wardrop (1782-1869) in 1834,
and Robert James Graves (1797-1853) in 1848.
Guillain, Barré, and Strohl in 1916
described two soldiers acutely ill with muscular weakening, paresthesias, and
muscular pain. The patients, 25 and 35 years of age, were thoroughly examined by
Georges Guillain, head of the Centre Neurologique de VIe Armé. The great novelty
in their examination, however, was done by Strohl, who investigated the spinal
liquid and performed an electrophysiological test, finding major pathology in
the Achilles reflex and the quadriceps muscle. The soldiers’ condition soon
improved, however, and after a little over a month they were both released from
the hospital, almost completely restituted.
Only weeks after Guillain, Barré,
and Strohl, Marie and Chatelin reported three cases, Their patients were all
restituted within three months.
It was H. Draganesco and J.
Claudion who, in 1927, first used the term Guillain-Barré syndrome. Guillain and
Barré obviously enjoyed this, forgetting both Strohl and Landry."
