  • Title: Postinfectious Guillain-Barre syndrome in a patient with methimazole-induced agranulocytosis.
    Author: Cho YY, Joung JY, Jeong H, Je D, Hong YS, Suh S, Kim SW.
    Journal: Korean J Intern Med; 2013 Nov; 28(6):724-7. PubMed ID: 24307850.
    Abstract:
    Both Graves disease and Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) are autoimmune disorders caused by impaired self-tolerance mechanisms and triggered by interactions between genetic and environmental factors. GBS in patients who suffer from other autoimmune diseases is rarely reported, and the development of postinfectious GBS in a patient with Graves disease has not been previously reported in the literature. Herein, we report a patient with Graves disease who developed postinfectious GBS during a course of methimazole-induced agranulocytosis.
