Abstract
The isolation of parainfluenza virus type 3 from the CSF of a 19 yr old man with Guillain-Barre syndrome was reported. Although parainfluenza viruses are usually associated with respiratory tract illnesses, some strains show a neurotropism not previously appreciated. Thus, parainfluenza viruses may be responsible for a portion of cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
