title: [Acute motor axonal neuropathy with favourable outcome after Salmonella Ohio infection].
abstract: We report one patient presenting an acute weakness following an infection with Salmonella Ohio. Diagnosis was Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). However, preservation of reflexes and electrophysiological study showing purely axonal pattern make this case different from typical GBS. Outcome was favourable. There are probably various forms of GBS and the axonal form do not always carry a bad prognosis as previously reported.
