![]() ![]() The microbial and viral antigens may include Campylobacter jejuni, HIV infection, Epstein-Barr (mononucleosis), and Zika virus. This condition leads to a lack of self-tolerance from the adaptive immune system and activation of neuroinflammatory processes affecting nerve conduction. The pathophysiology of GBS and its variants appear to be secondary to an inflammatory process leading to molecular mimicry between central and peripheral nervous structural components and microbial/viral antigens. Immune-mediated polyneuropathies can be further classified in acute and chronic, depending on the onset. Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a syndrome with several variants, with acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), being the most common type of inflammatory neuropathy in North America. ![]() Demyelinating neuropathies can classify as hereditary, toxic, and immune-mediated. ![]()
