Guillain-Barré syndrome in a Danish county

Department of Neurology, Central Hospital of Holstebro, Denmark.

In a retrospective population-based study, we reviewed clinical records of 51 patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) during the years 1965 to 1982. The mean annual age-adjusted incidence rate was 1.14 per 100,000 people. Compared with reports from Israel, Danish and Swedish patients with GBS seem to have more extensive and more severe symptoms, although survival rate and recovery prognosis are probably the same.
