HLA-B35 and acute axonal polyneuropathy following Campylobacter infection.
We performed HLA typing for class I antigens on five Japanese patients with acute polyneuropathy following Campylobacter infection, all of whom showed axonopathy causing pure motor dysfunction associated with IgG anti-GM1 antibodies. We demonstrated a statistically significant association between the disease and the HLA-B35 antigen.
