    Author: Souayah N, Nasar A, Suri MF, Qureshi AI.
    Journal: Vaccine; 2007 Jul 20; 25(29):5253-5. PubMed ID: 17560693.
    Abstract:
    Using the data from Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, we present 54 reports of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) after vaccination that occurred in United States in 2004. In 38 of the patients, GBS occurred within 6 weeks. The highest number (n=31) of GBS was observed in patients receiving influenza vaccine followed by hepatitis vaccine (n=9), 1 patient died and 10 patients were disabled following the event. We conclude that vaccines other than influenza vaccine can be associated with GBS.
