title: [Guillain-Barré syndrome complicating cytomegalovirus infection in an immunocompetent adult].
abstract: Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare complication of cytomegalovirus infection in the healthy adult. We report a new case with good spontaneous outcome. Cytomegalovirus has been recognized in about 15% of Guillain-Barré syndromes. Clinical and biological presentation, and outcome are common and prognosis is often good. Etiopathogenic mechanism is unclear.
