Neurological complications of scrub typhus are reported to be rare. Peripheral nervous system involvement has been reported in only one case. We present two cases of Guillan-Barré syndrome (GBS) associated with scrub typhus. In both cases, the findings of an elevated indirect immunofluorescent antibody titer for Orientia tsutsugamushi and nerve conduction study showing sensory-motor polyneuropathy, have led us to believe that scrub typhus could be one of the antecedent illnesses associated with GBS.
据报道，恙虫病的神经系统并发症较为罕见。仅有一例报告称其涉及周围神经系统。我们报告了两例与恙虫病相关的格林-巴利综合征（GBS）。在这两种情况下，东方立克次体间接免疫荧光抗体滴度升高的发现和神经传导研究显示感觉运动性多神经病，使我们相信恙虫病可能是与 GBS 相关的潜在疾病之一。
