Guillain-Barré syndrome and pemphigus foliaceus associated with D-penicillamine therapy.
The Guillain-Barré syndrome and pemphigus foliaceus occurred simultaneously in a patient on long-term treatment with D-penicillamine. It is proposed that both conditions may have developed as a result of a disturbance of immunoregulation caused by D-penicillamine.
