[A case of Guillain-Barré syndrome]

The authors describe a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome with a high protein level in the cerebrospinal fluid. During the treatment corticotherapy was found to be of low effectiveness but a gradual improvement followed a combined treatment with imuran and corticosteroids with simultaneous intrathecal hydrocortisone administration despite persistence of changes in the concentration of total protein and immunoglobulins in the cerebrospinal fluid.
