Differential diagnosis This case fulfilled two of the required features for the diagnosis of GBS based on the criteria described by Asbury and Cornblath.16 In addition, several other clinical features strongly supported the diagnosis. She had no systemic symptoms, multiorgan involvement or elevation of serological markers (eg, elevated sedimentation rate or rheumatoid factor) suggestive of vasculitis. Furthermore, she had no malignancy or history of exposure to heavy metals and other toxins.
