HLA-class II alleles in Guillain-Barré syndrome and Miller Fisher syndrome and their association with preceding Campylobacter jejuni infection

J Neuroimmunol. 1995 Oct;62(1):53-7. doi: 10.1016/0165-5728(95)00102-8.

Abstract

HLA typing for class II alleles was performed on 97 patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome or Miller Fisher syndrome and compared with 100 controls. There was a significant association between HLA-DQB1*03 and preceding Campylobacter jejuni infection (Pc = 0.05).
