Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2006, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is common and mostly asymptomatic in otherwise healthy individuals. However, it causes eye and life-threatening illness in immunocompromised patients. Simultaneous occurrence of Guillain-Barré (GB) syndrome and CMV infection is extremely rare and described only in the form of case reports. This is a case report of an immunocompetent patient with CMV infection causing retinitis in association with GB syndrome.
