[Autoimmune disease among secondary autonomic disease--acute demyelinating polyneuropathy (Guillain-Barré syndrome)].
Acute demyelinating polyneuropathy (Guillain-Barré syndrome) among secondary autonomic diseases was described as a representative disorder due to autoimmune mechanism. The possible roles of preceding vital infection, cellular and/or humoral immune abnormalities in developing the disease have been considered. A comparison was made between acute demyelinating polyneuropathy and experimental allergic neuritis in respects of their causes. Polyneuropathy associated with M proteinemia and Rowland's syndrome was also briefly reviewed.
