    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 2007 Sep; 55():658-60. PubMed ID: 18051741.
    Abstract:
    Barium poisoning is an important cause of areflexic quadriplegia associated with hypokalemia. Presenting features may mimic Guillain-Barre syndrome. A high index of suspicion of barium poisoning in two patients who presented with features resembling Guillain-Barre syndrome, led to timely management and early recovery in both the cases.
