Guillain-Barre syndrome. Another cause of the "floppy infant"
J. E. Carroll, M. Jedziniak and M. A. Guggenheim
We report a 4 1/2-month-old female infant with subacute onset of hypotonia.
Symmetrical weakness, association with a viral illness, high CSF protein
level, diminished nerve conduction velocities, and a prompt recovery were
compatible with the diagnosis of Guillain-Barre syndrome. The possibility
that this disorder may occur in young infants with weakness should be
considered.
