The incidence rate of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) was compared between high and low Campylobacter jejuni incidence counties in Michigan, USA, between 1992 and 1999. Data on GBS was obtained from cases reported to the Michigan Department of Community Health. Poisson confidence intervals were used to compare incidence rates. There was no significant difference in the overall rate between high and low C. jejuni incidence regions in Michigan. Though no differences in age-specific, gender-specific, and seasonal rates were significant, GBS was more common in spring and summer in the high C. jejuni incidence region than in the low C. jejuni incidence region. Differences in the distribution of cases by age group and gender are described, though no difference was statistically significant.
1992年至1999年期间，在美国密歇根州，对空肠弯曲菌发病率高和低的县之间吉兰-巴雷综合征（GBS）的发病率进行了比较。GBS的数据来自向密歇根州社区卫生部报告的病例。采用泊松置信区间比较发病率。密歇根州空肠弯曲菌发病率高和低的地区之间的总体发病率没有显著差异。尽管按年龄、性别和季节划分的发病率差异均无统计学意义，但在空肠弯曲菌发病率高的地区，GBS在春季和夏季比在空肠弯曲菌发病率低的地区更常见。描述了病例按年龄组和性别的分布差异，尽管差异无统计学意义。
