Guillain-Barré syndrome complicated with hemolytic anemia in association with antiganglioside GM3 antibody

Guillain-Barre syndrome is an acute inflammatory demyelinating polyeuropathy that is characterized by progressive weakness of limbs, loss of tendon reflexes, and slowed nerve conduction velocity. Aoyama et al report a patient with Guillain-Barre syndrome that was complicated with hemolytic anemia; t...
