It is a disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks part of the nervous system. The first symptoms of this disorder include varying degrees of weakness or tingling sensation in the legs.
Campylobacter may be the most common precipitating factor for the Guillain–Barré syndrome, which is now one of the leading causes of paralysis from disease in the United States.
Campylobacter infections occur in all age groups, with the greatest incidence in children under 1 year age.
Guillain–Barré syndrome mortality, caused the primarily by acute respiratory failure, can vary from 4 to 20%.
