To investigate whether antecedent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome are associated with the presence of specific antiganglioside antibodies, acute phase serum samples from 130 patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome and 200 controls were tested. Anti-GM2 IgM antibodies were found more often in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome with CMV infection (22%) than in patients without the infection (2%) (P = 0.003). CMV infections may elicit anti-GM2 antibodies in susceptible patients, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of Guillain-Barré syndrome associated with CMV.
为研究吉兰-巴雷综合征患者既往巨细胞病毒(CMV)感染是否与特定抗神经节苷脂抗体的存在相关,检测了130例吉兰-巴雷综合征患者和200例对照的急性期血清样本。在伴有CMV感染的吉兰-巴雷综合征患者中,抗GM2 IgM抗体的检出率(22%)高于未感染患者(2%)(P = 0.003)。CMV感染可能在易感患者中引发抗GM2抗体,这可能与CMV相关的吉兰-巴雷综合征的发病机制有关。
