Hepatitis E infection is most prevalent in developing countries with poor sanitation, but can also occur apparently sporadically in more developed areas.
We here report a second European case of Guillain-Barre syndrome due to hepatitis E infection in association with anti-glycolipid GM2 antibody.
This is likely to be a specific association involving molecular mimicry, and further European cases can therefore be expected.
戊型肝炎感染在卫生条件较差的发展中国家最为常见,但在卫生条件较好的发达国家也可能偶有散发。
我们在此报告第二例欧洲病例,系戊型肝炎感染引起的格林-巴利综合征,与抗神经节苷脂 GM2 抗体相关。
这可能是一种涉及分子模拟的特定关联,因此预计还会有更多的欧洲病例。
