HLA-class II alleles in Guillain-Barré syndrome and Miller Fisher syndrome and their association with preceding Campylobacter jejuni infection.
HLA typing for class II alleles was performed on 97 patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome or Miller Fisher syndrome and compared with 100 controls. There was a significant association between HLA-DQB1*03 and preceding Campylobacter jejuni infection (Pc = 0.05).
