Abstract EN
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a common acute autoimmune polyneuropathy in adults.
There have been few reported cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome associated with active cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in renal transplant recipients.
Here we present a case of active CMV viremia inducing Guillain-Barré Syndrome in a renal transplant recipient.
We discuss the treatment regimen utilized.
Furthermore, we performed a review of the literature and discuss the cases of CMV induced GBS in renal transplant recipients.
