概要 We describe a twenty-year follow-up study of antiglycolipid antibodies and electrophysiological results in a 36-year-old man with Campylobacter jejuni-associated Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). The patient had a high titer of IgG antibodies to GM1 and GA1 20 years ago. Plasma exchange resulted in full recovery from a bedridden status to independent walking in three weeks, except for residual mild weakness of the bilateral extensor hallucis longus muscles and atrophy of the plantar muscles. Twenty years later, he is unable to run at full pace due to neurological sequelae, and IgG antibodies to GM1 and GA1 were still slightly positive. This case suggests that marked improvement in the acute phase does not necessarily guarantee a subsequent good quality of life (QOL). Optional treatment such as complement inhibitors in the acute phase may be required to achieve better QOL in subsets of patients with GBS.
