    Journal: Neurology; 1997 Dec; 49(6):1723-5. PubMed ID: 9409379.
    Abstract:
    We studied 29 children admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital (BCH) with acute flaccid paralysis between June 1991 and June 1993. Twenty-seven patients had Guillain-Barré syndrome--7 with acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and 20 with acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN). Two had poliomyelitis. The most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis at BCH is the AMAN pattern of GBS.
