Chronically occurring ones include multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) [6]. Other diseases in which antiganglioside antibodies have been detected are acute unilateral peripheral vestibulopathy [7] and paraneoplastic peripheral neuropathies [8]...
Serum IgG anti-ganglioside antibodies were detected in 46.2% of the AMAN patients and in 6.7% of the AIDP patients (P < 0.05); 5.6% of the 18 CIDP patients were IgG antibody positive, and 27.8% were IgM antibody positive. Facial palsy and sensory impairment were significantly associated ...
By contrast, the mechanism by which certain vaccines elicit the development of GBS remains unresolved, although there have been studies to suggest that the 1976 swine flu vaccine could elicit anti-GM1 antibodies in mice and that the GM1 epitope was present in the influenza haemagglutinin.3...
In GBS patients, but not in CIDP or control patients, there was an association between anti-ganglioside antibodies and increased CSF immunoglobulin-G (IgG) levels as determined by the IgG index. However, none of the GBS patients had CSF oligoclonal bands (OBs) or indications of intrathecal ...
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum IgG and IgM antibodies to seven gangliosides were determined in patients with neuroborreliosis (NB) (n=20), Guillain-Barr茅 syndrome (GBS) (n=13), and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) (n=10). the incidence of elevated ...
CIDPGanglioside complexGM1GD1aIgMAnti-ganglioside complexes (GSCs) IgG antibodies have been reported in patients with Guillain鈥揃arr茅 (GBS) or Fisher syndrome but little is known on their presence in multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) or other chronic immune-mediated neuropathies. We examined 24 ...
IgG antibody against LM1 might be involved in the pathogenetic mechanisms of GBS, as a possible demyelinating factor. Presence of both anti-GQ1b and anti-LM1 antibodies may be associated with some infectious agent(s) affecting the respiratory tract.KyokoYakoandSusumuKusunokiandIchiroKanazawa...
