| Popis: | infections with Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, mycoplasma pneumoniae, and campylobacter jejuni have an association with Guillain-Barre syndrome. Possible theories include the notion that bypass surgery results in a decrease absorption of vital vitamins and nutrients that may weaken the immune system and make patients more vulnerable for infections that may lead to Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Furthermore, the surgery may alter the normal flora of our intestines in such a way that it promotes overgrowth of pathogenic organisms that were previously suppressed Conclusion: With the obesity epidemic and subsequent increase in the number of bariatric surgeries performed each year it is reasonable to predict that the number of Guillain-Barre Syndrome cases associated with this type of surgery will also be on the rise. Thus it is important to more clearly delinieate an etiology for this association in order to diagnosis and prevent such an occurrence. |
