Neurological complications occur frequently in solid organ transplant recipients. However, the peripheral nerves are usually spared significant toxicity. Guillain Barré syndrome (GBS) is the most common cause of acute neuropathy in adults. Despite numerous reports of GBS in recipients of bone marrow transplants, GBS has rarely been reported in recipients of solid organ transplants. Recent evidence supports the role of the immune system in initiating and perpetuating the ongoing neural damage in this entity. Infectious agents may initiate the immune attack, and the association of GBS with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has been studied extensively. |
